Ok I got that problem sorted thanks to the guys at the MS forum. Now I need to start tuning. Does anyone here have a similar setup that could point me in the right direction. I know tuning specs are heavily guarded I just need something to get me running then I can fine tune. I am going to start looking at the manual some more but if anyone feels charitable shoot me some info. Thanks all I finally feel like I am on the right track.

I feel ya GD I posted a thread over there too, just waiting for it to be approved. I'm also in touch with one of the sales people for MS just thought since i had to wait on those answers I would post up over here too and see if anyone had any insight. I plan on taking some pics of this thing as it sits and post them up. It needs paint and a little bit of body work but it is still in awesome shape.

I keep getting what I think is the firmware error but when I try to update the firmware it says that the program cannot run on my 64bit vista even when I run it in compatibility mode and run as admin I still cant make it run. I am going to try to upload a photobucket link so you guys can just see the errors that I have been getting. Any advice would be great.

Thanks for the heads up on the cooling system. I was thinking of flushing the radiator since it has sat so long but was shying away from it. I will definetley do it now. As far as spark goes, Garner put a crankshaft sensor with a coil pack on it. I should know what version megasquirt I have tonight if I can get this cable to work and I will let yall know. Garner wasnt sick He passed suddenly but was super busy with his work which is why he wasnt on the board.

I am new to subaru's and this forum but I have always liked them and wanted one. I am a fabricator/designer and I spend my hobby time building custom bikes. I have been wrenching for probably 8 years but only been serious abotu it for about 3. I have never worked on a subaru and honestly know more about outdated carbs than anything to do with EFI I was close friends with Garner, He was a professor of mine when I was in college and we worked on a few of his furniture designs after I graduated. For those of you who do not know, Garner passed a few months ago. His wife asked me to help clean the shop and help Garner's business partner load some of Garner's tools so that he could move them to his shop. During this process She told me that she was looking for a new home for the brat. Since I had drooled over this car for a few years and I was eager to have just about anything that Garner had owned I jumped at the opportunity. I have checked the car pretty thoroughly and done some maintence work but it still wont start. After reading up on the Mega Squirt I am thinking that I need to tune the computer (or the fuel injectors are shot). I bought a cable and hope to start tuning this weekend. I was hoping someone on here would know what his settings were or atleast a good starting point for me. Specs as I know them: 79 Brat, 86 EA82 GL motor with a turbo. Fuel pump is pushing up to 60 lbs of pressure at static, I replaced plugs, fixed some vacuum leaks, other small maintenance things. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to get this car running. It is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen and I love that it was Garner's. Thanks
