Ben, one of the Openport 2.0 beta testers, was able to pull the ROM from a 2009 WRX at his dealership.

EDIT: Attached the 2009 WRX ROM below. It is already supported by the ECU and logger defs that were released Oct 5th 2008.

WGDC Tables look interesting. It's very likely due to change in restrictor/actuator settings.

Thanks Bill!

The car felt AWESOME on the road. It's supposed to have a VF43 with the 05+ LGT/08+ WRX style flanged compressor discharge. Power is notably up from the 06-08 and pulls hard until ~5500 or so before petering out. Springs were stiff and the ride was akin to the 02-07, also a good thing.

A Perrin or AVO topmount, walbro, turboback, and tune is going to make this car scream. Can't wait!

This is great! Looks like it'll be a lot of fun tuning in the near future.

Wasn't the one driving it unfortunately, so I can't say. I can only remark on the power and initial suspension impressions. Another great improvement is the decent summer tires as opposed to the 08's all-seasons.

Went ahead and added the 2009 WRX ROM to the original post. It is supported in the current ECU and logger defs.
