To all:
You can use an 08 no problemo (if it's a Forester you can use the harness BUT with an Impeza ECM, DON'T use a Impreza harness!!! The pin position are all changed), but use an 06-07 Impreza harness!!!
In 08 then made a small mod to the sub harness, the coolant temperature sender is now 2 pin (instead of 3)!!!! the computer send back to the cluster what his reading instead of a direct reading to the cluster.
3 pin coolant sender: 1 for the ECM and 1 for the cluster, 1 is ground
2 pin coolant sender: 1 goes to ECM and also goes from ECM to cluster, one is ground.
Many way to cheat, one of the 3 pin can be directly sent to the cluster OR you can use an old 2.2L coolant sender WITH the 2 pin one for the cluster.
Ok, it's so complicated that I will take pictures.

I'm starting a conversion soon in Colorado. I plan on using an 08-10 low mileage 2.5 engine. I'm having a little trouble finding one locally at a decent price.
On www.car-part.com I notice a bunch of engines for sale from a place called Gundies in WA state that are designated as "conversion" in their notes.
Has anyone here bought an engine setup from Gundies? Did they supply ALL the Subie bits? How was the experience?
