I hope people understand that yes you can build something else for more power per dollar. So then why isn't everyone just buying the best platform and spending on that instead. Whether it's a Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, or Subaru it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the money you put into a car is because you love driving that specific car.

I've been considering putting my 2018 wrx back to stock and trading it in for something more sensible. I drive 140 miles a day and it has been my modified commuter for just under a year. Put on 31k miles in 11 months and it just hit 70k last week. My biggest concern is having the motor blow up on me during my commute.... I recently picked up a 1999 miata that I have for a project car so it's pretty expensive having two "projects" and California will eventually catch me in the wrx with the V1 j pipe. The WRX has been crazy fun for a while but after a year of a long commute through cali traffic and now owning a second sports car, owning a WRX is just getting too expensive (looking at them cali gas prices). I'm still on the fence as it was my first car for tuning so it has a spot in my heart. Love the videos dude! You are the reason I picked up the wrx in the first place :) For anyone curious, the wrx has intake, full turbo back exhaust, bpv, boost controller, some wheels on Falken tires, etc.

[@someguyonyoutube9220]

Something I should say, I don't believe I should sell it but I just needed to throw this out into space. It's a very fun car but it's just so difficult to own engine modified cars in California. I'm really excited to see if COBB can produce Green Speed products for California customers. I may not be in California in the next few years so we'll see :)

I went from 313whp (basically stock) to FBO currently at 415-420ish but will be getting a “kill map” for 450-470whp to max out my 1200cc injectors Dec 10th from Wali. If I count only the performance related stuff, I spent $3,200 (buying/selling local Facebook) to achieve that. But if you were to include all the carbon stuff like hood, truck, APR wing, driveshaft (other cosmetics) that's a different story lol. It still comes out to be way cheaper since the entire build was bought second hand but yeah every bolt got me here. You can literally point at anything on my STi and it's from Facebook 😅 I'm still on pump with the 3.5xtr 10cm Blouch. It's rated for 580hp but my rods will scream 🤣 you can still see me giving V8 bois a hard time though on my channel. That's all I could ever ask from the platform

Just aiming for 350whp max, on an v7 ej207 built with a blouch 20g 8cm but we will see how I like it once break in, and full tune are done. Staying on 93 and want to staop top mount if possible (just looks cleaner for these cars) but heatsoak may be my issue and will need a few more things as always to dial it in afterwards. I don't feel what I want out of the car is too much to ask, it's for the mountains really and that's why I am still not sure I will like the 20g but I'll see. Did a lot of research but have to eventually just pick a turbo and go with it. I'm hoping that it won' be too laggy, but also the tuner can help get that band a little more where I may want it. My other weak point will be the stock 5spd, but have also heard some go on forever on higher hp builds than mine. Getting the torque tuned down a little but that does suck for a car I want to be punchy.

Switched from an accessport to open source with dimemod (yes I have flex fuel), imo an accessport is fine if you want to build a stage 1-3 car. But as soon as you start upgrading turbos, and pushing bigger power it’s so much easier to go open source. If you’re willing to research and troubleshoot I wouldn’t get an accessport at all. Just snag a tactrix for $180 and go open source.

@@Smeedia mine was more expensive. I needed a shortblock, built the heads, replaced wp, oil pump and pickup baffle, etc etc secondary air pump.. Al in all. Over 15k to convert my stock high mile wrx into a 380whp car. Prob 435hp at the crank. Turbo was double what you paid.. everything else was about the same

👍👍👍👍did my air dealt on my 09 sti but still goes into safe mode no tc no I drive engine ligit is on I plug my obd2 and delete it how do you permanently turn it of. thanks

[@Smeedia]

You need to perfectly turn it off in accesstuner but Cobb removed the way to do it

Hi Tanner. Wondering if you can give me a recommendation for stock location turbo options that will get me to 450+whp on e85 while still having a good/daily drivable power band. Not chasing numbers but want a nice jump from the VF48. Seems like a lot of people recommend the Dom1.5 as the best stock location turbo but I don't know if that holds a candle to the newer options. What are your thoughts on the BB500 or FP Green UHF?

EPA when thousands of semis run non stop all over the US: I sleep EPA when a tuning company allows four cylinder cars run a little less efficiently and make a little bit more emissions: REAL SHIT?!

[@followtheornghat]

I got a question... 😅. How much power do you think a similar setup with a stock DP is going to net. CARB is a little more stringent than EPA.

[@Smeedia]

Not sure tbh but the stock DP is pretty restrictive 😭

@@Smeedia guess we gonna find out with my car and a 20g 🤣 apparently 2019 plus was supposed to be a little better but 🤷

[@preslavflorov5216]

How does the BPV actually makes the flutter, and isn’t that bad? I am getting confused by the fact it is making a sound, since it is supposed to re-circulate the air. Is it making the turbo noise due to the CAI? Please help😂

[@Smeedia]

The stiffer the spring the harder it is to open. The harder to open then the air goes back through the charge pipe. Tbh it's not perfect for the turbo but it's not going to kill it in a day

Im still rocking the V2 acessport in my 2011 STI 😂

Rotated kits 👀.... I was gonna let my buddy build me a spicy stock location 35r in place of his 62mm... However we could rotate it haha!

[@tmos8]

Hey, would you use this JB400 over the FP Blue? Going EWG on either, but having a hard time deciding for a 2018 STI

Evil energy has ptfe for e85... I'm currently using that...

I been buying the wrong shit 🤣

I am looking to buy the jb400 for my daily build. I currently have a Cobb fmic and was wondering if you think it would still work. Or even if i was to get the fmic pipe from grimmspeed if that could work on Cobb's fmic.

I’m looking at the borla s type exhaust what’s your opinion on it I don’t see many sti run it I’m just curious what you think of it

[@Smeedia]

Never been a fan of borla on subarus. Not a terrible exhaust
