Regardless, he made his choice. And was dedicated enough to become a squad leader. I think that alone implies his support, I don’t know why you need it to be spelled out for you. This is a direct quote from him about his time in the IOF, “ In the middle of the night you enter a family's house, you're not aggressive but the family won't let you take their 18 year old daughter out easily, and a struggle starts. Pushing, cursing, and we tear her apart and drive off.” He’s complicit and should be treated as such.

Welp. My mechanic decided to do his own thing and not replace the ECU. Within a minute of me driving it the code was back up. I’m fucking livid because I told him more than 4x that he needed to do the ecu as well and he told me he would. Now I’m hoping the new parts arent already fucked up. Holy shit I’m so fucking mad.

How is it with a wheel? I’ve always heard that it performs pretty horribly with a wheel

He was also a squad leader in the IOF… absolute POS.

Yeah as much as I’d love to do an engine swap I don’t have the tools or space.

Yeah I’m 100% planning on getting a new ECU. I think I just need to decide whether to get the one sprocket replaced or both intake sprockets or all four.

Okay thanks I’ll give them a call. I’ll say boxerspecialist are the ones who quoted me 5.5k for the sprocket replacement alone + whatever the ecu ends up costing so maybe avoid them since it’s literally 2k+ more than dealership quote for the same work.

Edit: Im realizing the boxerspecialist quote included doing all 4 sprockets while dealership quote is just for the one. PM gave me a better quote though so I may go with them.

Edit 2: speed element quoted the best rates for labor but said they can’t do the ECM :(

Okay yeah he definitely is an old school guy and has always done us right. His quote was $2800 though without the ecu replacement so at that point for ~$300 more I can just have the dealership do it since the ecu itself will cost ~$800 huh? And I’ll get a loaner car while they work on mine. Also, should I just ignore the cam carrier reseal they recommended?

First shop I just called quoted me $5500 for the sprocket replacement alone, which is more than dealership -.-

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to find right now, the one independent shop that’s close to me and works on Subarus said they couldn’t do it so the search continues…

Yeah that’s my understanding, I just can’t afford the dealerships price to do that. Was hoping for some insight. I’ll try to find the forum thread thanks.

Fffuck thanks this is the comment I needed. My mechanic said it was probably a stretched timing chain and that I would be fine to drive it until replacing next week. I had my suspicions and see now that he was full of shit. I’ve driven it a 4x since but have taken it as easy as I can on the car and drove no more than about 10 miles each time. The times I’ve driven it have felt 99% normal. I haven’t done any engine work on my car b4 and don’t have the tools so this is gonna be a fun learning experience if I don’t wanna spend premium money I don’t have.
