a full DAVCS 257 in a GD chassis is a wiring nightmare and will cost you more than the build unless you can wire & pin your own ecu/harness. this is the reason ppl do hybrid motors, completely different ecu. one is 16bit one is 32bit. you will require a standalone ecu and have to re-wire 70% of the car and then merge the remaining harness with the new one.

there is reason you dont see full 257's in a GD. i mean they exist... but they are RARE.

DAVCS in a GD...Bah not as bad as one might think. Get yourself one of them there wrecked JDM cars with a EJ20X/Y(04-05 Legacy GT) and the ECU out of it and then find the wiring diagram and it should work itself out pretty easy. May have to add a few wires here and there, but nothing to serious. It's also a twin scroll set up, but sadly only comes with a VF38/48 which are smaller than the VF36/37, although if you want reliability, go buy a 257 and go with simple bolt-ons and a good tune and leave it at that.

Then again what do I know.:|

If he had money for this and wanted reliable, he wouldn't have bought a GD in the first place.

Hey I resemble that statement....
