There is no aftermarket flashing software approved by Subaru, no aftermarket ECU's either. Standard is it.
Whether the mods caused the failure or not, the fact that the car is modified is why the claim would be knocked back. Subaru warrant the car as it leaves the factory, not after a little workshop in the back streets of a city 3500km's away has finished fiddling with it.

Edit: Once again I'm not bagging MMS, I'm simply stating the facts regarding new car warranty, its in the owners manual.

But....back on topic. I would be ringing each of the workshops listed, discussing with them what you want from the engine, then letting them outline a plan for you and give you a quote. Then pick the one that most appeals to you, maybe speak to a few guys on here about work they've had done too. Performance thread FTW.
