I’m updating some features in the webstore today.
I updated some of the info for the “Contact Us” and the ability to send an email to me direct from the website. I saw a few mentions that some people were concerned there was no way to find my address or phone number etc. so I found the right place to add that info. Hopefully people will be able to contact me easier now.
I have to draft the privacy policies, shipping and returns policies etc. so if you see something still not authored yet and you have a question feel free to send me an email. Most people know by now that I am very liberal when it comes to warranty and returns and things of that nature.
Product updates…the version 2 for the Stock Fuel Pump controller is done and the boards are going to be ordered Monday.
I also worked in the simulator until late last night on the input circuit for the VSSPro, it is more complex than other inputs in the past due to the nature of the signals involved. There is a lot to do but I am really focused on getting this product out. I think it is going to be a huge help to the swap community to be able to use 08+ STi and Legacy 6mt’s in basically any Subaru.

Well my product development diary has been getting a bit of a workout lately. I really set my focus towards the two new products I’ve been working on.
I picked up some new equipment lately, my new “baby” is a 5 mhz function generator to simulate all types of common signals to they can be introduced to the electronics designs for testing purposes.
1. FuelPro fuel pump controllers
Firstly a replacement for the stock fuel pump controller that will allow for up to 10 amps of power to power medium to large sized fuel pumps. This product should be ready for sale in a period of a week or two. I need to order revised motherboards and build a few for bench testing to failure.
Second to come will be a dual pump controller with dip switches so it can be selected for parallel or sequential operation. That is a little further down the road.
2. VSSPro
New adapter for 08+ 6mt’s so they can be used in pre 08 cars. This will use at least one abs sensor and convert the signal so it is usable by the ecu/gauge cluster. I will likely add a poti to the board for “calibration” so that people with different sized tires can adjust it to be accurate.
The function generator has helped so much in my development that it is really an exciting time for these new products. I’m making more headway than ever before. Actually more in the last week than the past 6 months…
Hopefully some of these will be available very soon.
Kind regards,

I’ve updated the manuals to reflect on the name changes to the product lineup, and to clean up the manual a bit for more clarity.
I’m going to try do make these more comprehensive as I get some time, and to try to cover some of the common installation questions better.
Kind regards,

I’ve decided to make a few changes to the product lineup to make things simpler for my customers and more options available without restrictions.
The new name for the dual and deluxe units will be the “DCCDPro Universal Controller” Or “DCCDPro UNI” for short.
This will be a base unit that can be optioned up with any combination of features available now or in the future.
For example, now you can option up the base unit with either STi switches, or with the STi cluster interface or both.
This should allow for more choice and hopefully lower prices overall as you are only paying for the options you need.
Product serialization will change as of Jan 1 to coincide with the new terminology as well. (Dual and Deluxe as separate products have been retired.)
Future “options” for the UNI will include user “tuning” and feature selections via RS232 or USB. As well as g-sensor calibration via RS232 or USB. This will allow the g-sensor to be “zero’d out” so it can be mounted at a less than optimally “level” state.
These are the next major features on my development schedule. Release date is not known yet.
The original manual controller is also still available, as long as there is sill some demand for them I’ve decided to keep producing them.
Thanks for all your support in 2009!
Looking forward to major advancements in 2010!
Kind regards,

Check out the above link for a first impressions type blog about the dual mode controller.
They are doing a project car 6 speed swap, so be sure to follow along with their progress once it gets underway if you are interested.

Hey Everyone! Very exciting news, I had a huge breakthrough in programming today!
Some code improvements I made over the last 24 hours have had a massive improvement in program execution & speed.
I’m still considering the implications of all that I can do with this over the next few weeks. Hopefully after some more testing I’ll be able to make an announcement.
Sorry to be so cryptic, more news to follow as I feel I can release it.
