    Hello, so my 04 Impreza 2.5rs was swapped by whoever owned it beforehand. They did some annoying things like not wiring the 3 pin VSS in, reverse lights, etc. The previous owner removed the TCU so I want to confirm I can still wire everything in without it. To start off, is there anyway for me...
