I am not sure who says to you that there is still a problem with the tune. Even the stock tune retards timing and quite often much more than what you have now. I had the same feeling 6 years ago with another Subaru car and I was ready to sell it, because I could see a similar behaviour with the tune. In the end I decided to not sell it and to stop logging it and worrying about. The car engine is still strong and without any issues. If there was any real problem with the new engines, don't you think Subaru wouldn't address it already? Especially, when Subaru's reliability history is much better comparing to Porsches and specifically the Caymans which are placed in the last positions(*).
