You could probably find someone on these forums in your area that could help you out with a flash. My guess is the shop already went through all these options which is what lead them to the cam gear recommendation.
Thanks for the info. I was told that the cam sensor was already swapped to the opposite side, but it didn't follow the sensor. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to confirm with the Subaru shop about if they tried the OCV swap, shim, and latest ECU update (I can't confirm with Torque if I'm running the latest rom for my year). If they've all been done I guess I'll go ahead with the sprocket change.
