OK, I won't just copy and paste the whole thing because the guys on Nasioc do a great job of maintaing it.

For us STX guys, we have what appears is the definitive answer on reflashes etc.

* ECU reprogramming. Map must have unaltered factory boost maps.
* Piggyback, see STS. No changes to boost control are permitted. Examples of allowed devices: Vishnu Unichip, Cobb Unichip without Boost Control Unit, Apexi S-AFC. Examples of illegal devices: TurboXS Unichip (controls boost), UTEC (acts as a standalone for timing control).

Don't know what this does to Scott's plan. I thought he said UTEC.

Looks like a reflash is the way to go... Any reason to go with any add-on with that as an option?

Where is the WRX ECU anyway? I love having two for my A4. No more than a 5 minute swap...
