Just buy the individual plugs you need.

Even cheaper.

Double check to make sure the keying notches are correct for the TGV plug.

And a how-to video for de-pinning them.

For pins that big you can use a small flathead screwdriver. Go to your local dollar store and get an eyeglass repair kit. Or Harbor Freight's bargain bin for a small set of tiny screwdrivers.

Got the engine pretty much ready to install today. I'm not sure when I'll have a day to dedicate to getting it installed though.

I would swing by your local PNP and get those harnesses in OEM condition. Then just de-pin them and reassemble in the good OEM housings.

Is those clips specific only to WRX's, or would any Subaru from that timeline share some of those?

I'm not sure but it is the only car to get the Turbo 2.0 in the US.

Yeah I really want their harness replacement, but just want the car running right now. I can pull the intake manifold in like 30-40 mins now so if I do it in the future it won't be to terrible.

That's actually really good news. Take it for a spin yet?
