If I just hit the gas, it can take a lot longer than that to get out of the dip. And so I downshift instead in order to accelerate, just like you do.


Don't get me wrong, I love this car...

Really?? Just stay out of the middle of the rev range while you're accelerating, huh? Okey dokey, that solves everything for me :bonk:

Unless your only use of the car is on the track, it's absolutely reasonable to complain about the torque dip for DD purposes. Subaru could have (and should have) fixed it by now.

Ok thanks.
I haven't messed around with editing yet. When I go to save the file with 2096 enabled, should I allow RomRaider to fix the checksum error?

OFT disabled DTCs

I've tried a couple different OFT tunes -- a Stage 1 (for use with the stock header), and then I switched to Stage 2 UEL after I installed the OFH.

Everything seems to run fine, but looking...

Can someone explain difference between a "catted" and "catless" header?
