JWT has a better solution out there that still allows OBDII cars to remain NYS compliant for safety inspection.

The Cosworth setup would fail because it will not set readiness codes

theres enough stand alone systems out right now that work for the subarus… hydra, pectel, aem, etc… that one isnt really better than the others… they all do **virtually** the same thing. the problem with ALL of them is that they dont set readiness codes so your car better be able to pass obd2 inspections on the stock ecu every year. i personally dont want to pay 2500$ for something like a hydra nemesis stand alone and not be able to use it.

pectel makes a lot of race car electronics, mostly data acquisition. the stuff is top knotch. their ems systems are not geared towards street cars though, but rather geared towards race cars.

well you’d have nothing to use it on to start with so I guess it’s a moot point.
