OH,
so it should then be possible to Keep the K&N and use some sort of tool to remap the ECU to use a bit More fuel then the ECU thinks it shold. (so the k & n fools the MAF sensor, but then you compensate for this by just telling the ecu to run a bit richer then the ECU 'thinks' it should) then i get to hear the cool (stock ) subaru noises, but i also keep the engine cooler.
and i screw mother nature and my fuel economy goes down a bit more .
we are all happy ... except mother nature ... and people who hate the sounds of turbo and BOV noises.

(on my stock bov, don't see spending money just for a different sound, someone @ a car shop told me you can setup the stock bov to blow off to the atmosphere that a tangent though )

Thanks

don't suppose anyone rents the services of those tunner tools or do you have go and buy some fancy thing ? i won't know what to do with it , and i don't want to hurt the car. Don't suppose subaru would be happy and willing to just remap it for me ? not a chance oh , okay then ... lol
