Why not start with a map, gives you time to amass parts then less downtime between motor swaps? A map should get you to around 270 ish before anything else, As for ecu you'll either need an apexi fc & commander or esl board, which is newer and allows Al & launch plus twin maps ask savage what he thinks as he has had both in his at some point

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Gutted mate,if I ever need to pull an engine I'll be asking you for tips, reckon it will all be up and running for japshow ? Drove over 7 hours yesterday had noisy valves on start up today but could be due to the fact it's been stood outside in cold overnight for a week instead of being tucked up nice and warm, goes away when up to temp so may treat her to an impromptu oil & filter just for good measure

Will a decent sound system cover up noise?
I'd go with adding sound deadening,subaru's don't have much as it weighs a fair bit, think there's a company called dynamat that does it in rolls not cheap but works !

Boost gauge vacuum pipe location confusion

May be worth cleaning your boost solinoid with some brake cleaner too. When was it last serviced ? & may be worth checking the gasket in yiur recirc valve, does seem a bit low as standard they range between 0.75 - 1.2 depending on model,

New member, couple of questions!
Good luck quite possibly the most tedious job ever ! A knife blade may be good to gently lift the corners off once warm, also for the bits where gravity can help out a spray bottle of soapy water could be good for helping too

A few Impreza electrical Issues
It should have a join like the fitting you showed fairly close to the end of the roof space,but if you just want to add an adaptor I'm sure that will work

A few Impreza electrical Issues
To be honest the hose will be old so may as well just buy a new length

A few Impreza electrical Issues
That silicon hose should be fine, the relays usually have a clip lock on one side to stop them falling out
