Obviously there's a lot more to it than just that.. there are open/closed loop fueling issues, delay, etc. But I don't really feel like writing the book of Subaru engine failures right now.
The older 16-bit ECUs were able to handle minor adjustments better, but since your car has a 32-bit ECU, I wouldn't gamble with any of these things.

Hopefully I didn't do any damage already
Where do I get an open source tune
If it's running wastegate pressure boost and has been driving/running smoothly, I'd guess that it's alright for now. But I wouldn't push my luck. Spun bearings can happen in a day, or a year, depending on the severity of the issue.
Well basically I will get this done ASAP. I don't want to spend a fortune so what is my option. My friend is saying get the access port and get a dunno tunned but that's gonna cost 600 for Cobb access and 400 for tune. Now what is the open source tune? I'm new so I do need some explaining. Or send me where I can get the open source tune if that's better
I'm not familiar with your area, but I know there are plenty of reputable shops in the Tri-State area.
Akuma Motorsports
Broken Motorsports
EFI Logics
Metric Subaru Performance Tuning
XX-Tuning
Percision Tuning
AZP Installs
Area 1320
The Shop
Those are just some of the names I found in the NASIOC Tri-State Vendor Review thread with positive comments. Some of them probably don't have in house tuners, but I'm sure they would be more than willing to recommend someone.
OpenSource only requires that the tuner have the cable to tune your car. You don't have to buy any hardware, so you just pay for the tune itself. It's not any "better" than using an Access Port, they both do the same thing essentially (flash maps to the stock ECU). The main difference is with OpenSource you don't have to pay for the Access Port.
Certain tuners will only use certain tuning methods. Both OS and AP are pretty widespread, so many tuners will do it either way.
It looks like Mike Botti AKA (STi Mikey) is working at Akuma Motorsports now. I haven't dealt with him personally, but I have some limited experience working with his friend on the West Coast, Ron Watson. Both are excellent OpenSource tuners.
Looking at pics of Akuma Motorsports' facility, it looks pretty nice. Although I have no personal experience with them, I feel comfortable giving them a recommendation. Welcome to Akuma Motorsports

thanks i will look into it. My friend recommended evans tuning. It looks like a good place. He is a lot closer to me too
another question about tuning.. Can i do etune? my friend said something about it.
yes, but you will need a tactrix cable.
sti mikey and ron do etunes under the name phattbotti.
I'm basically looking at getting the dyno tune with Cobb ap for about $1000
