Subaru EcuFlash Resources?
Maybe I'm just spoiled by what great support EvoM has given Evo owners with EcuFlash help, but i'm not able to find a helpful forum for Subaru (mainly WRX/STi) tuning.
I've seen what enginuity.org and openecu.org have to say, and NASIOC forums have 0 mention of EcuFlash... anyone know of a good site?

That is pretty much it. You have to remember the accessport came out very early on the subies so that was taken as the mainstream way to tune. My roommate is a popular suby tuner he is very jealous of the ECU support the evo has since they cant get most of our ecu mods without a UTEC.

This could be because the sti takes way more timing than the evo so he is just not familiar enough with the evo's timing requirements.
The scobbypedia article is good, thats what I have been referring to when flashing wrx and sti's.
Like J.B. mentioned, they do add timing on there own to an extent, they have a base timing map and adder map that represents the max amount of timing that the ecu can add in the absence of knock. I normally derive the base map setting by looking at the shape of the power curve on the dyno, any additional timing I add to the base map, I remove from the adder map and give the car a few pulls while logging to see if it is still adding timing and if so how much, this will give you an idea of what the knock detection routine is seeing. I don't go crazy with the timing on the subbies, mostly fuel and boost.
