This is the problem with both the 'version' nomenclature and your info thread. 'V9' is nebulous - most eBay sellers assign this to GDB-F and GDB-G parts but you've chosen to include the 2005 (GDB-E) in this category, as well. The GDB-E is an entirely different body style than the GDB-F/G.
GDB-A/B - first body style (eBay sellers call this V7)
GDB-C/D/E - second body style (eBay sellers call this V8)
GDB-F/G - third body style (eBay sellers call this V9)
GDB-A to D = narrow track
GDB-E to G = wide track
Your info page lumps the second body style, wide-track model (GDB-E) in with the third body style. See where I'm going here? No one is on the same page with this, but the MAJORITY of people equate the 'version' nomenclature with the following:
V7 = Bugeye
V8 = Blobeye
V9 = Hawkeye
Just because your info thread decides to call the GDB-E a 'V9' model doesn't mean the majority of people will call it this. I try to avoid the 'version' nomenclature whenever possible, but if I'm going to use it at all, I'm gonna be following the pattern that the majority of people are using.
If you don't want to cause confusion, the best nomenclature to use is the GDB-A through G coding... Subaru already gave us a perfectly usable system; why anyone tries to lump significantly different models into 'eyes' or 'versions' is beyond me.

As you mentioned, this is the 2005 Spec C ECU which is not immobilized. This corresponds to a GDB-E, which most would call a 'V8', but you call a 'V9.

Two new/crated single AVCS EJ20 blocks out of Australia w/forged internals, a variety of used single AVCS EJ207 heads, and a '10 Spec C Dual AVCS EJ207 needing a rebuild; why do you ask? The motor installed in my car is still the USDM EJ257 and it will likely stay that way until the shell is caged.
Right now I'm rebuilding the tranny so swapping the motor isn't a huge priority. I am, however, having a 'rev.B' patch loom made (as in, I just completed payment to Boomslang two days ago) to add dual AVCS wiring to my motor loom so I can control the dual AVCS motor with my factory wiring. Not really related to the topic, but I found that adding dual AVCS control is pretty easy if you just re-use the TGV wiring
You only need to run a total of 4 wires for the cam position sensors.
