Jim,

What you need to search the internet for is a "pinout diagram" that shows what wires are used when doing a Subaru conversion. These start at the ECU plugs and go from there. It doesn't have to be a 914. I have one for an SVX...looks like this:

Careful using this one it probably will not match at all. Just a reference. Lots of VWs have 2.2Ls in them now, so check The Samba.

If you click this link you will also find resources for the 1990 Legacy wiring diagrams:

You need this to understand how everything works. One CRITICAL thing you can't remove is the diode. The car won't start without it. You end up cutting most of the harness the way I did it. You do use the fuel pump relay, starter relay from the Subaru. And of course the whole engine wiring harness.

Prepare yourself for this part because it's not fun. Get ready to do this a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
