The car runs fine IMHO, it's in the process of remote tuning with Matt for 3" dump & mid to modded STi sedan muffs.
Other mods are a now-properly sealed HKS air filter and a dw fuel pump & new in tank filter.
The tune revisions so far have been aiming to accomodate the exhaust mods, reduce overall peak boost levels, reduce DBW max requested torque, and once that's done to reduce popping on the overrun.
Matt spotted the avcs discrepancy via regular logging.
The Lib is at 174K, uses around 0.3L of oil per month, maybe rocker cover seal on LH side.
Inspecting the area I noticed oil weeping around the base of the oil filler tube, so ill remove and inspect that - I can't see a gasket there so I'll see what's in the FSM related to that.
I took another look this morning and the 17mm bolt should be accessible when the battery and the plastic air pump tube are removed. Planning to remove that this weekend. Then UEC & oil & filter change...
Open to any advice!

I'm reading the Service Manual and googling the fix, and will document my progress of course!

Are you recommending this?

Well seems like modus operandi for your tuner.
Boost spike CEL disable P0244
Secondary Air Pump CEL disable all of them. No investigation required. Or blanking plate installed.
Based on that, yes why not..

Sorry Bruce but we NEVER disable the P0244 CEL code. It's an extremely important safe guard. As for the secondary air pump, its a common failure in the earlier cars that used it and may become more common in later cars as they age. The official Subaru repair is typically around the $3000 mark just to fix an item that works for 30 seconds after a cold start and it purely for emissions control in that time. If you consider the emissions that a 12 month old car makes compared to a brand new car just in normal driving due entirely to normal wear and tear then not having the secondary air pump working for 30 seconds fades into insignificance.
Getting back on topic, the AVCS system adds a lot to the performance of the car in both power delivery and economy (emissions also) so having it working correctly is important.
