Your "Do it all over" state, is what I have and love it. No issues ever and it just flies. Though I do install the 1.3bar tune on and off, depending on how I feel...

[@artificialhappiness]

When I picked up my then new 2020 GT2 Stinger it had the 'E' badge pre-installed on it. I was pleasantly surprised!!

[@isaiahgibson9788]

The video we've all been waiting for and just shy of 11 minutes along, this guy is just too generous! lmao

[@BDColin]

Can't lie.. Gonna miss the Stinger content. But will support you as a viewer none the less. Get er done brother!!

[@twn2rbo]

I really appreciate that! Thank you. I look forward to the future

[@puerco911]

beautiful stinger and mods!

[@LaSouthernGemini]

Excellent, excellent video of everything you have done to your beautiful ride. This is going into my 'saved' videos. I have now subscribed!

[@twn2rbo]

Thanks so much! The video did well and I got some more stinger builds to reach out. I will meeting with them to do similar build / launch / drag type vids. Stinger is such an awesome car , esp for the price

[@richjohnson749]

Never miss s video!! Loving my 2018 (awd) Ceramic Gt1 ! 1 year owner. Bms intakes... Borla Catback.. And badging Change. So Far. Keep bringing the video brother !! Next mod, I'm Wingin it !! 🎶😃

Ayeee. And the sundow 😎 im about to pick up a 2019 gt2. I have a x12 waiting to eat up the hatchback

[@fredrox-vg9il]

What up Nick. Had a new phone issue and youtube took my sub away! Sick vid as always......been waiting for this one for awhile

[@twn2rbo]

That will happen , it adjusts for bots that subscribe and kicks them off. Don’t worry about subscribers it will drive you crazy , just post good stuff 💯

[@OVRBoosted]

Great vid again, I’d like to add the tcu tune as well one day. Other then that I don’t want to push the car until it explodes.

[@twn2rbo]

You’d be shocked how much this thing can handle! TCU I wouldn’t go over stage 1 personally but the trans is a monster, torque limits off it obviously going to be hard on the torque converter but I used it sparingly

[@hasanfadhil6404]

Nike, in a shirt looking professional brotha!

[@tyler3766]

I think this is a wonderful video. Someone did the YT click bait mods and basically wished he didn't. 1:33 Unless you are running ductwork or connecting the housing to pre-plumed ductwork, you are probably running a ram intake/short ram intake. SRIs are snake oil. Do not waste your money. They just suck in warm engine bay air. The Stinger is already "cold air" from the factory. Buy a true cold air intake kit; something like "Kia Stinger - aFe power Takeda Momentum Cold Air Intake System." True CAI, tuner, exhaust, and *tires*. Unless you delete cats, you're mostly just changing the sound. An engine is an air pump; get air in, get air out.

[@storytime7982]

Great video bro but you didn’t cover the full turbo back zorst

[@OliverDigitalFilms]

What tires are you running? I've also got a RWD 3.3 and plan on doing some upgrades but i have tons of traction issues on my roads just in stock config. Thanks. Love your videos

[@twn2rbo]

Stock tires this whole time, they’ve been pretty good

[@michaelthompson4178]

You gotta swap out the horrible base screen. Cost me 500 total for parts to put in nav and the better gt1/gt2 8" screen. Best thing I've ever done, nice having nav, works great!

[@drumtimer]

You can tie the Velossa Tech lights to a fuse that only is on when the ignition is turned on. 🙂

[@mikem9047]

Please tell me how to do this. I’m tired of leaving them on when I turn the car off. I tried to find a fuse tap, but can’t find one for advance auto that fits the fuse size.

[@hasanfadhil6404]

@@mikem9047 fuse tap to the windshield wipers!

[@drumtimer]

Just use a voltmeter and a wire mini fuse tap (Amazon) plug it in on an empty fuse socket see if you're getting voltage when the car is on and when the car is off use the one when the car is off when the ignition is off plug the fuse tap in hopefully with a 10 amp fuse that should work at least that's how I did mine.

[@Uncle19]

did you keep your pedal mod? did you like it?

[@teambizzyb755]

I am not seeing the links where you purchased the items your going over, can you point them out or do I have to reference your prior videos? I got the 2022 gt2

[@abtruther4741]

Would getting that lozic tcu tune without the jb4 be effective? or would it mess anything up? Would I also have to upgrade to HKS plugs ?

[@jakeledford4568]

Hey man I’d love to ask you a few questions about the lozic tune you had. I’ve been having a few weird issues for lack of a better term that I haven’t quite been able to figure out.

[@twn2rbo]

Shoot me an email, see description

[@dukewaldsmith2132]

I'm planning on getting a 2022 stinger gt I don't want it super fast I'm not racing anybody but just some basic mods.... will these be ok such as aftermarket exhaust, cold air intake, hks spark plugs...do I need blow off valve, high performance intercooler, oil catch can and jb4 etc....

[@pigeon853]

It would be nice if you had a list in the description!

[@twn2rbo]

Good idea. I’ll have him text it to me and add it. I will also do that on the upcoming stinger cars coming on the channel. Good idea 👍

[@twn2rbo]

I just added them at the bottom

Did you do a video on when you plastidipped everything?

[@twn2rbo]

I didn’t , but do a min of 5 coats or it will take hours to remove

[@EJones-he3pg]

I have the same MBRP exhaust only my exhaust has this “rattling” Like sounds coming from the exhaust PLEASE HELP because as god as the car looks and runs the sound makes it sound CHEESY! PLEASE HELP if you have an answer.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hey! Which oil catch can did you buy?

[@twn2rbo]

Mishimoto

[@trey102002]

did you end up getting black rims? if so post it! I am interested

[@twn2rbo]

The rims on this Stinger are OEM, same ones from the Scorpion Stinger. They are gorgeous

[@EJones-he3pg]

Everything I did too but you forgot the downpipe

[@DOSTRBOS]

You already sold the ADDW1 injen intakes heat shields?

[@twn2rbo]

I haven’t sold anything yet, but all the parts are wanted by many. I haven’t had time but will soon

[@Uncle19]

does tcu tune effect anything if you paddle shift? is it effectively just shift points?

[@twn2rbo]

Shift points and launch. You can remove the torque limits so you can build boost when you launch, like an Audi RS5 etc. you can still paddle shift. I uploaded a couple clips in the vid with my 2021 AWD GT paddle shifting and still got 3.7 sec. But nobody can shift as fast as a TCU :)

[@Uncle19]

@@twn2rbo thanks man! Definitely an interesting mod. Wasn’t sure if it’d change anything if I manually shifted but the brake boost sounds helpful

[@twn2rbo]

@@Uncle19 the fastest stinger right now is 2.8 sec, they can rip!

[@MrDaloe]

Did you install down pipes? I’m thinking of getting a pair but I’m reading mixed reviews

[@twn2rbo]

I had secondaries sent to me but I ended up selling it. I wouldn’t do primary downs, I’ve seen to many issues happen. If you do bigger turbos that’s a different story, but with all these mods that’s the last thing that could cause them to blow. Secondary downpipes are fine though, will also make the car louder of course.

[@MrDaloe]

@@twn2rbo appreciate it thank you

[@Robert-dm1sj]

Your “do it all over” would be the best for reliability? And maybe adding a FMIC?

[@twn2rbo]

Yeah it would be more efficient with lower intake temps, which is actually better for the engine when tuned. I personally wouldn’t do a FMIC, I’ve seen too many issues for the results they provide. But what are you goals? If in a hot climate and you want max power, WMI would be best and it also provides benefits that counter the direct injection carbon build up and less stress on fuel pump

[@Robert-dm1sj]

@@twn2rbo it’s my daily and I live in LA so weather isn’t hot. Just builds up a lot of heat with daily traffic. I haven’t even looked into WMI. Goal is really just to have reliable power for a daily. All I have on right now is AFE intakes and snorkels. Haven’t added exhaust or Jb4 yet.

[@Brooklynn_Sting]

OK so turns out I have the borla s type exhaust on. I am wanting more burrples how can I get that. 😫 secondary cats already gone. Should I switch to the ark performance DP with the borla ? 😅 help. Lmao

[@twn2rbo]

Nice! those sounds you’re looking for can only be accomplished by an ECU flash tune. The JB4 won’t do it unfortunately.

[@ConnehGoesHAM]

Before you sell it, let ask would ever buy it on the used market later in 10 years?

[@twn2rbo]

Depends, problem is if someone like me owned it along the way I would say no, but that’s the problem with buying any performance car on the second market:/

[@tysonsmith9690]

Is it risky to run a TCU tune?

[@twn2rbo]

All depends on the driver

[@tysonsmith9690]

@@twn2rbo what factors come into play, when it comes down to running it ? And also which TCU would you recommend getting ?

[@invisablestatic]

I've heard that oil catch cans can actually damage your engine because they restrict the exiting airflow thus building up pressure in the crankcase.

[@twn2rbo]

If installed correctly, it will not damage it, it will help it. The only situation where I wouldn’t is if it was a non direct injection engine, or had water meth injection installed.

[@jadsr69]

I have a serious for you. I have a 2018 stinger gt2 and and 2014 optima. Well the service dept I was going to really tried putting the screws to me with my optima. I got an oil change and within two weeks it was leaking antifreeze. Long story short I found two 1 inch coolant hoses with the pinch clamps moved to the middle of the hoses.Not one but two. Now these clamps don’t move on there own. And the time before I had just replace all four brake pads and rotors 6 days prior to them telling me after their so called 9 point inspection that I’m gonna need brakes on my optima after an oil change. Now I’ve always done my own oil changes but was told by the service manager that even if I do my own oil changes and keep all receipts that if something went wrong with the motor that Kia would fight me on it claiming lack of maintenance so I decided to let them change the oil to keep it in the system. Well after all that happened with my mysterious hose clamps moving and bitching at the general manager about it I forbid that service department to touch my stinger so I went to a different Kia service a little further away for an oil change and explained to them that I’m not one to just put gas in my car and drive it. I pay attention to detail including cleaning the motors and told them I’m looking for a service department I can trust. Well I got the oil changed in my stinger and got it home which decided to open the hood just to look around and see if everything was ok only to find my motor cover was still off my stinger motor which was still at that service department!! I about had a stroke!!! I asked them why they would even take the cover off for an oil change and the first guy said that’s in case the spill oil that they wouldn’t want to spill it on the cover. I said oh so you would rather have it spill on the motor!!! BS!! Then I went to get my cover and asked again why it was taken off and the girl said to get access to the oil fill cap which I pointed at it and said you mean this one that is off to the side of the cover?!? She said there are some under the cover and it has to be taken off. Again BS!!! I never saw the oil fill cap under any motor cover. Not that I’ve ever seen but insisted it was just habit. Now my question is is there anything under that cover that someone could have changed or altered in some way to effect the performance of my motor? Any certain type of sensor or chip or anything for that matter that you know of that they could have done? I’m asking cuz I just got this stinger not long ago and am still green when it comes to these motors but I know you do a lot with your stinger. Any suggestions for me to check for a certain thing would put my mind at ease since I’m not trusting any of these service departments around me now!! Thanks oh and by the way everything is still stock.

[@twn2rbo]

Only thing under there are coil pack harnesses and misc hoses. I highly doubt they messed with anything man, but I feel you , these service departments use the cheapest oil they can put their hands on and have very minimal skilled tech when it comes to oil changes, prob some 16 yr kid wanting to look at your engine, best thing is to always look afterwords like you did.

[@jadsr69]

@@twn2rbo oh yeah. Absolutely abd the problem with these service departments now are these dealerships aren’t making the sales with new cars because if the chip shortage and I believe they are trying to make money through the service. Now this dipshit general manager tells me that that service department was so busy and backed up but every other service department I contacted said they are running at normal capacity which makes me wonder why this one has so many cars with so many problems. I do believe since my hose clamps were moved that if I would’ve brought it back in and told them it was leaking antifreeze they may have told me I needed a water pump or something in those lines. That’s my opinion but when I hear someone say that kind of stuff doesn’t happen in a service department I say my car is proof of that!! Thanks for your advice on this matter cuz like I said I’m still green when it comes to this stinger motor. I will be changing my own oil and filters. This was my dream car since I’ve seen it advertised in a magazine back in 2017 and I really love it. Of course I would love to tune it but avoiding screwing the warranty that’s bumper to bumper until 2028. But I still would like to go with the cold air intakes at least for now. K&N maybe. Thanks again. It put my mind at ease a little.

What year is this stinger

[@twn2rbo]

2021 GT AWD, I bought it in 2020. Love the GT, it was the most affordable one but they discontinued it in 2022 I think and kept the GT2 and GT-Line.
