04caliwrx Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 U will need a slot more then a ecu, it's not plug and play you will need to wire everything up. Sell you car and buy a legacy gt. U will save a love of time and a huge future headache and lots of money spent for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wait a minute, you bought a new EJ255 long block with the turbo ? Or did you buy a used engine ? This is a major project that most shop's wouldn't try. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
