Question to those that soldered their connectors and had that solve the issue; how did yor crimp connectors look? I peeled back the tape and it appears that the dealer used high quality connectors, they have built in shrink wrapping, and seemed very solid when tugged.

The car is stil throwing maf and map codes, 2 missfire codes, and an underboost code now! Love the car but this crap needs to get sorted out or a turbo Subaru will be replacing it.

Seeing how they did it, I could have done a better job but I would have used connectors. Plus, where they crimped the wires, the crimp tool leave holes in the connectors. Not sure if you can see it from the pictures I took...


This morning, no issue coming into work.

What I find funny about this is that when the kits first came out, I stated that rather than use the supplied connectors in the kit, we soldered them. Can't remember who it was but I got flammed for that.

LOL... I believe that your Dealer does the right thing. :) I think we can all agree that they should have just did a plug and play setup.

Still running strong and no issues as of yet. Remember, all I did were the top wires which a so damn easy to get to.
