where is fuel cutoff wire for an 04 WRX located?
Hi guys,
I did a research in this thread but I never really found where exactly is the fuel pump or the fuel cutoff wire is located for the 2004 WRX. If anybody knows where its located at, I would appreciate it if you can give me some info. I wanna play around with it to add some security for my car, (Installing the fuel cutoff switch.
Thanks so much.

Nevermind I actually found the fuel pump wiring for my car myself. I just installed my cutoff switch, and it works just fine. Let see if these car thief can break in to my car and try to find it. hahahaha

I have 2 maps on my ecutek-tuned ecu. a good map, and a 'dud' map that causes the car to cut out shortly after it has been started.
The thief had better have a spare ecu or ecutek software to pinch this one!

Yeah, but do you think a car thief would actually spend some time trying to steal a car. There are few screws to take out just to reach fuel cut-off system and the ecu. It'll work but it'll take too much time for a thief.

You can, but the second map usually only changes one parameter (boost) due to memory restrictions. That's why you'll see a low boost and high boost "map" with ECUtek reflashes. You switch between the two by flooring the gas pedal (not while the car is running 
) and hitting the defogger switch.
It would be awesome to have a daily driver map and a 100 octane track map, but there just isn't the space inside the ECU to accomplish that...yet.
