You weren't around when I did my harness.
I used a different method than most.

Hi everyone, long time tuner and techie, but new member here.

I was recently ask to handle the wiring duties on a 818 project for a friend. It's a track only car, with the InfinityBox power cells setup and AIM display for all gauges. The 06 WRX harness was a twisted pile of wires when I agreed to tackle it. Like Bob, I started with the ECM and 4 main engine plugs. Hacked off everything else but the 3 primary power relays and what connectors I found related to engine sensors and actuators. That's got me down to about about 30 cut wires, and half those look to be unused and will be getting the ax..

While pinning these out I found the immobilizer pair from the ECM plug. Because this car is a track only setup, no need to keep the switch and key. So I did some searching on bypassing the immobilizer and found a few options listed on Subaru forums. First was run a 04 ECM on the 06 engine. Second was pop open the immobilizer ECU and jumper some relays. Last was leave it along with antenna ring, and tape the key under the dash. So I ask what you guys suggest?

Since this is getting a custom ECM tune, can it easily be written out like VATS on a GM? Or do we need to look at other options?

Thanks
