I don't wanna sound like a wet blanket, but when it comes to big swaps like this, I always take a "I'll believe it when I see it" stance. If I had a dollar for every person I've heard say "I'm gonna do X-big-mod to my car" that never got around to it, I'd have a 2.5L in my WRX and a supercharger on my SVX.

In fact, the only person I've met so far with grand plans that actually followed through was Sean Sifre (DrFunk on the board) who showed up to one of our meets 2 years ago w/ a new '02 RS and told us all about this crazy home-brew turbo kit he was gonna do. I blew that off as well, until a few months later when BAM! he shows up w/ a sick 03/04 turbo kit, and later a crazy air to water intercooler. That guy actually pulled it off and is one of my heros for actually following through on his idea.

Are you gonna be the next DrFunk? I hope so, since I'd really like to see what that EcuTune stage 3 is like on the SVX... but having been around the scene long enough to see most plans of grandure fail, and having seen how long and torturous the development of the ETS3 has been, I have to once again take the ol "I'll beleive it when I see it" stand.

Of course, if you need any help pulling this off let me know, I'm handy with a wrench even if I'm short on time! Or better yet, talk to Joe at Subaru Specialists... I'm sure he's on top of the ETS3 kit, since he's owned like 9 different SVXs over the years.
