Apparently my ecu could be faulty not a tune. I know they have replaced a couple of them under warranty for random cel's and misfires. I should have more info today or tomorrow. I also know for a fact confirmed by two people is that toyota & subaru HQ have been randomly checking fuel samples on random cars that come in for service, dont know why though. Im sure toyota will get to the bottom of it since they are very knowledgeable.

Dont have a way to log or a gauge for now but that my next investment. I filled her up with 93 v-power and the car is set up to run on 93 so i dont see this being a problem.

Ill try to get the service manager to snap some pics when they pull the engine out, for now all is speculation from initial diagnosis from a tech.

Good luck!

The cel flashed and went away, i scanned and got no codes. When they stayed on i parked the car and put it on a trailer and towed it. I would have never kept driving if the cel's stayed on.

Correct, i coasted and stopped driving after the cel stayed on, pulled over and got a quick video of the engine noise and dash lights then shut the car off and pulled codes.

Drivers school set up by h2r. Cel's did not stay on, and smoke could have been exhaust gasses trapped inside the exhaust that is why i did not pay attention to them since the car was not struggling to idle or giving me codes i only noticed a puff of smoke when turning on the car not while idling or under wot.
