I just swapped a jdm ej205 w/avcs into my bugeye. I have all the jdm goodies to get avcs running just haven't put them on yet, and it needs a tune. Running it with a catless downpipe as the major "mod" that requires tuning, but I've always heard the 02-03 ECUs can adjust for a 3 inch downpipe no problem without blowing the engine. 2 weeks driving it so far, I've commuted well over 1k miles, and even occasionally hard canyon driving. My AFRs are stable for the most part, these engines are robust! I imagine with a proper tune and avcs working it'll feel more like an STI (i know it wont just let me believe).

I don’t think I’ll ever sell my slicktop hawkeye wagon! Don’t see many at all-always the fa chassis nowadays. Plus the wagon is so useful(it’s a great 2nd or 3rd vehicle to have around)
