STi Accessport work on Forester XT ECU? (doing VF39 swap)

STi Accessport work on Forester XT ECU? (doing VF39 swap)

I'm installing a VF-39 (04 STi stock turbo) on my 04 Forester XT...
Anyone know if I can use the STi Accessport with my stock FXT ECU?
Anyone done this and can confirm?
I dont wanna be a guinea pig, but I'd rather go this route than have to buy a stock STi ECU for $500.
The STi and FXT ECU's can be interchanged (plug and play) but i'm wondering if there are any differences that would cause an issue w/ the STi Accessport working w/ a factory XT ECU.

Anyone?

Cobb lists that the FXT is compatible with AP. I don't know if its a different unit, though, then the STi one. If you are planning on buying a new AP, it should be fine.

If you are planning on buying a used AP off an STi owner, I can't tell you if they are compatible. I assume so, but I don't know for sure.

The STI access port will not work on a forester xt. You will have to get the xt port in order for it to work right.

STi UTEC should work on my FXT ECU though, right?
I could use the base STi stock map since i'll have a VF39.

The utec is another story i dont sell the utec so i could not say for sure. One way or another. But i do know for sure that the AP would not work.
