One thing to note, I screwed up and cut my vacuum line too close to the brake booster. There apperantly is a check valve or something like it in the line. I yanked it out so I could get the T to fit. You can feel where the valve is by squishing the line. I wish I would have known that ahead of time. I don't know how important that thing is, I may need to purchase a new vacuum line from Subaru. Anyone have any ideas???

And the last issue I had was the EcuTek shipped without a license! I installed the SC all day Friday and by the time I had the EcuTek set-up it was almost 8pm here, which is 5pm in Cali and I couldn't get a hold of the tuner. I got an email from Kraftwerks saying I need to call him to get the registration finalized. Wish I would have known that sooner... The car still sits.

Oh, and a final note, make sure that you have the oil reservior rotated the right direction before you install it. I had to take mine back out and rotate it.
You'll probably want to replace that line if you did break the check valve. I suppose you could cut out the inline check valve and put back an aftermarket one. It's dumb that they buried it without an indication that it's in there. :/

Sorry for your trouble but I'm definitely making a note to check this line when I get to that step.
