Why would the car drive any differently because of ECUtek software? The standard ecu is very capable, with 3d boost mapping and plenty of correction tables, surely there is not a need to flash the ecu with 3rd party software to map it properly..it is a choice surely?

Driving smoothly and properly being more down to how long is spent developing the individual map on the car?
You can't say that Andy Carr, Neil and Duncan etc don't do a smooth map because it's open source that would imply that Subaru where wrong with there ecu design and ECUtek did a better job?.. Just my two cents. Very happy with my open source map, plenty of track days done with it as well.
