You won’t get much argument from Me on swapping to a Subi 2.2 ~ Newer & Better Tech’ than a H2OBoxr, Plenty of Power,

especially @ the Alt’s where You Live & Play & especially since You are hauling around the Extra Baggage of a Syncro ~

I put an EJ25 in My VDubaru back in 2009 & have No Regrets ~ Went 2.5 due to Alt’s where I Live & Play & the BoatLoads

that I generally haul when heading out to Play & because I'm a bit of an Info Junky & OBD2 helps to quench that thirst ~
