The car's ECU does learn, although I dunno what a trackday will teach it. I don't know about ECUtek, but I can tell you this.

If the car's battery is disconnected, and you turn the headlights on for a bit to drain the power in the system, the ECU will revert to whatever the loaded base map. In other words, you erase what the car has learned forward of the map.

At least, that's my understanding of it.

The TMIC sprayer is nothing more than a windshield washer nozzle pointed at the intercooler. Push the button, it sprays for 2 seconds. It doesn't go into the intake or get burned in the combustion chamber; it just cools the intercooler. Putting meth in the container that holds the fluid for the sprayer is doable but a total waste of money.

Is there such thing as a lift kit? Is it available to the public?

I don't know much about WRC cars but I imagine they would be lifted.

I've seen rallyx cars that use Forester springs, but I dunno how much lift that gives. There's a guy who lifted his STi. Search NASIOC.

I'm going to answer your question in a moment. First thing's first:

READ the stickies, my friend. If you had, you wouldn't have defiled your car with a BOV. Fully 95% of the time, they only hurt performance. There are myriad threads on the subject, the best of which are linked through or contained in the sticky threads at the top of each forum.

For once, the dealership was right. The car has a BPV for a reason.

To nullify your problem: remove BOV, reinstall stock BPV, drive.

For that, you'll need to search/ask in the Engine Forum, or refer to the instructions from HKS. Make sure you ask the question clearly and give it a little time. It's the weekend.
