no more likes a normal shop that specializes in subarus, not a tuning/performance shop. I never called them but i don't think normal auto work is really their thing.

nice avatar btw

so they worked on it for awhile and they have determined that there is a missing ground or something missing from the ignition switch, although i am not 100% as to exactly what they mean. They said they traced a couple things to see what might be the problem and a lot or most of it leads back to the immobilizer unit, however i dont know if they tried the car with the 04 sti ecu. the tech said he would and then he would get back to me, but im pretty positive that isnt going to do it.

such a crappy situation right now

Just the way the world works. Keep your head high. Worse case is you crack the car open and figure out the wiring again.

Seriously, if it doesn't work out, let us know. It is a little drive, but I am sure that a few of us can come by and help you figure out that wiring.
