The Subie Tuners aren't real crazy aobut Haltech from what I've read, mostly the cost factor. IF I had it to do over again, I'd find a US based company. when the ECU fried several years ago, there was no one equipped to service it here in the states(mostly due to its age). Shipping to AUS was expensive. I've replaced the TPS once in 10 years and it may be close to needing it again. those are available on ebay pretty much.
