Well I went down a slightly different road with the tune for the Foz so I thought I would share. The stock subaru tune is average at best from my experience and the Forester was no different. As I have no plans to change out the i/c, turbo or dump pipe, I did want to get the throttle stutter and response fixed so after a bit of home work and seeing what other owners had achieved I selected a company called DW Tuning from Adelaide. The tuner is a guy named Martin Donnon. He has some excellent experience in tuning a whole range of cars including the Nissan R35 GT-R and happens to own a MY10 Forester XT as well.

Basically I bought from tactrix an Openport 2.0 smart cable and downloaded for free software called ecuflash and romraider for my laptop. Then I downloaded via OBD II port my stock rom file and sent a copy to Martin. He in turn did his magic and returned a new rom file with the tune. I then flashed it to my ecu. This is not my dyno run but you get the idea http://www.dwtuning.com.au/images/fordyno.jpg

Results are very pleasing in the short time I have had the new tune installed. Way better throttle response, idles a bit higher and no more subaru drive by wire stutter.

If you want more information then I suggest you visit their web site here http://www.dwtuning.com.au/japan.html

He also has another company called http://www.willallracing.com.au/ and they have a Perth representative now.

Oh one other thing, the price....$450 plus the cost of the cable which was around $120.
