Temp gauge accuracy, momentary pegs??
digi dash's look cool but they are not at all accurate, i know atleast one member who added analog pod gauges so he would know what his engine is doing. probably a bad ground

Do engine swaps really need to be that complicated?
wiring is a big headach not to mention motor mounts crossmembers deminsions i work at an auto parts store, helping people find the correct mounts when doing engine swaps is a huge pain in the rump roast not to mention the wiring, but it is doable it just takes forever edit: in case you couldn't tell i hate wireing

Time for EVEN MORE power!
it's not you, bg73i don't know how to put it but he hates any thing not ea82, it's unbelievably annoying i mean evreyone has a right to there oppinion but stop forcing it down evreyone elses throat, egr is good, 5mains is way better than three, and the ej22 is as solid if not more solid than the ea82, he thinks the ej22 is a pos, for some unknown reason defiying rational thought he verbally trashes it allot with no actual proff beyond the fact that he is god apperantly, so me and a few other member takes it upon ourselves to prove him wrong evrey chance we get, childish i know, but for the love of god 5 main bearings 66.666% better than three i couldn't agree more completely

Turbo Idle Adjust
ha ha i ment when you did the swap did you wire the selector switch to where the car thinks it's in park, drive, or neutral, to elaborate most cars idle faster in park than when in drive or neutral,
-
Well, guess I have a new driver
true but you have to remember that the main weakiness of the ea82 is the fact that it over heats and blows hg's meaning subaru is going to put allot of time into the cooling system, add that into the fact that it was in production for around 10 years i'm kinda supprised it changed as little as it did. no problem
