According to my HKS Type-1 turbo timer I idle aroud 710 rpms...but the HKS reads around 50-100rpm lower than the tach. 600rpm definently seems pretty low

It does not seem to run rough or bad at all. The car is very quite, you cant even hear it running sometimes. But it just idels really really low. I went and check it and it idels at 600 exactly.
Can someone give me some input about this.
Good, Bad, why it is like this.

That's very normal, Subaruski.

My L idled at 400-600 rpms before being turbocharged. I asked the tech at my local dealership why it idled that low, and his reponse was that Subaru's were very well balanced, with very refined idle air controls. It's so quiet that sometimes I thought it was off, and would start it again!!:p .

As long as it doesn't miss, or jump around a lot you have nothing to worry about.
