    So the more I read the instructions and guide, the more I am uncertain about tuning this outside of a professional tuning shop. Unfortunately, IAG and Agile Auto both said they don't deal with the UTEC because it's so old. Turbo XS can still tune with it (as long as I bring all the hardware, which I have), but it'll cost $600 for only two maps. I can get an Access Port for that much and load up a stock STI map for free. I don't know which route to go now.
    Should I get the AP and load a stock STI tune (although that won't match my Forester perfectly), or use the UTEC stuff I already have and shell out the cash to Turbo XS? What would you recommend, and more importantly, why?

    You can get a version 2 accessport for half the cost of a new one. Look on Nasioc they should be around $250-400.
