Does anyone have the part number for the wiring harness that goes into the PCV connection on the inlet? One of my EBCS lines exploded and frayed those wires... TIA
I would imagine the Perrin and the other inlet hose you featured might be more useful if you are trying to make more power due to it being massive. This looks like a pretty solid oem replacement tho
Definitely a solid OEM replacement. The other inlet was nice but I’ve seen people have issues mounting the GrimmSpeed EBCS to it due to the shape. Still better than the stock one though in my opinion!
I had no idea! Really glad I went this route then. Install was a breeze. On a second note, I did see how exposed the EBCS was due to the TBW skid plate so I did my best to cover it up 😅. Any water issues with your setup?
Nice, you won't regret it. Yes, the spool definitely got louder! I plan on doing a follow up video to this to hopefully capture the sound. Merry Christmas man!
The other video besides GS's video has the BPV connection snap off as well. I have 98k on mine.... makes me wonder. I just added the intake and charge pipe a few months ago too.
At 13:11 that metal tab your referring to that comes in the kit… does it come in the turbo inlet kit from GS? or does it come in the EBCS kit? Sorry for the dumb question. I’m waiting on my inlet now for the last 4 months from GS. Just wondering what comes with the kit.
@@ronfromportland did you ever run into a running too rich code? I have a Cobb redline intake on my wrx with the grimspeed inlet. I know Cobb intakes are sensitive since you have to play around to find a sweet spot for it.
@@dantetovar2741 oh yes, I had some a lot of issues with this intake. A lot of it had to do with the damage I found. Turns out to be super common. th-cam.com/video/lDGN-05stKs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gyEG9geEWGtBXJ9b
@@ronfromportland I watched the video and it’s weird all of my reading on the Cobb access port read perfectly normal. So at this point I’m confused. I’m pretty sure it’s the way my intake connects to the inlet. My bpv as well I changed the line because I thought it came lose it didn’t fix it. I also checked for damage and found no damage I think I’m going to lift up the car tomorrow morning and see if the way it connects to the inlet changes anything.
@@dantetovar2741 wait so is your car running rich? If so, that should show on the AccessPort. I would also double check the lines on the BPV, the lines that go up. Those tend to get popped off. The one other thing I’d check is the fitting that connects the turbo inlet to the BPV. Make sure this is seated perfectly. Let me know what you find!
Woulda added this if it was out a month ago. Not looking to go back under just for that. Your inlet bolts were 10 mm? Mine were 12 and I was slightly worried when my buddy grabbed a couple 10 mm when reinstalling. Notice anything from adding that strut tower brace?
It’s a great addition for sure. I just doubled checked and they are 10mm. What year is your car? Maybe they had been updated? I didn’t notice too much of a difference tbh. I’ve wondered the same thing haha.
@@ronfromportland Mine is a 17. Videos said 12 and it was. Would be strange to step down to a 10, but it’s impeller side so it shouldn’t matter. Didn’t see any reason or info on strut brace, figured lca’s or rear swar would help more. Not sold on going to new coilovers. Stock seems stiff for daily driving. Maybe to adjust rebound “looser” for better comfort/control.
Are you talking about the bolts on the inlet to the face of the turbo? Agree. I have Bilstein shocks and RCE Yellow springs with rear LCAs and they get the job done while being close to stock height.
@@ronfromportland Yes, the 2 that bolt the inlet to the turbo. Should only see vacuum instead of boost, so not as much stress. I scrape all the time. Took lip off and don’t want lower.

This I’m not sure. I checked Grimmspeed’s site and I couldn’t find any info regarding the stock boost controller. My guess is that it most likely won’t work.
@@ronfromportland haha men, I’ve been looking and researching that myself and can’t seem to find anything on it neither lol. Well I’ll Just upgrade it as well. It’s only $ 159.00 more. You have to get you car tune after upgrading the boost controller? If so where you go? I’m in Portland I was thinking PRE.
@@josezavala9552 yup, a tune will be required for a boost controller. Hey that’s cool man! I went to Surgeline for my protune. I have Ambot Tuning for my etune.
After a day of driving the car, I did notice better airflow. Drivability has improved and so has throttle response. The AF numbers are more stable too, even without cleaning the sensors. You’ll be fine with the OEM one but if what I mentioned above matters to you then it’s definitely worth it.
This I’m not sure. I did see a review comment someone left on GS’s site for this inlet and they said they were able to transfer over the stock boost controller solenoid but they had to get smaller clamps for the red tubing.

That inlet looks really good too, wish it was available when I was looking.
Great video! Got a stage 2 map on the way and Installing my Inlet, EBCS and downpipe this weekend! SO EXCITED!
🔥
Came just for that pcv connection thank you 🙏
🙌🙌

Definitely a solid OEM replacement. The other inlet was nice but I’ve seen people have issues mounting the GrimmSpeed EBCS to it due to the shape. Still better than the stock one though in my opinion!
You also have to cut the bypass valve section on the bloc one too! I had to cut mine on the FP 3” turbo inlet.
I had no idea! Really glad I went this route then. Install was a breeze. On a second note, I did see how exposed the EBCS was due to the TBW skid plate so I did my best to cover it up 😅. Any water issues with your setup?
Sweet man! Just ordered mine and gonna switch out my Perrin one. The silicone makes the car sound like a dying pigeon
That’s awesome man! You’re not gonna regret it!
Hahaha, did you make a sound clip by any chance. Definitely wanna hear that😅
5:57 yes a bunch of oil will spill. That's the line to the turbo sump.
Subbed! Looking forward to getting one! Can’t wait to get intake/ jpipe🔥
Exciting stuff man! Thank you!
I'm going to order one .Did you notice any increase in spool sound or boost in general ?Great thorough install video ron Merry Xmas
Nice, you won't regret it. Yes, the spool definitely got louder! I plan on doing a follow up video to this to hopefully capture the sound. Merry Christmas man!
Love seeing FA20 content got a 2021 WRX myself Thanks man!
That’s what’s up man! Thanks!

Yup, I thought mine was fine but I was surprised on how easy it tore off!
Awesome video! Do you know the size of the turbo inlet? I want to do a boost leak but I don’t know the size of the coupler to order
Thanks man! I didn’t measure the GS one but it should be the same as the OEM one which is 3”.

Hi random question but what intake do you currently have set up?

Whats the af connections and af learning?
Don’t remember the exact numbers but they were both within spec after installing this.
How much room did you have between the top of the diverter valve and the engine? I changed my chargepipe and have maybe a quarter inch...
I didn’t get a chance to measure but I would assume something similar to that. Close fit.

Does the Boost Control Solenoid require tune? 18 wrx
Yup, it does. It wouldn’t be of any benefit without a tune.
Hey is there a reason for the extra hose clamp on the intake pipe?
Good eyes! No reason at all, I just had an extra one laying around so I decided to use it.
@@ronfromportland not a bad idea actually. Thx for the reply. Def gonna make the inlet my next mod.
How long did u run the OTS map for? Did u have any issues?
@@redrexx12 only a couple thousand miles until I got my protune. I’ve used both Cobb and MAP before the mods and they were both fine.

I just checked GS’s site and it doesn’t look like they can confirm fitment on the ‘14 Forester XT. Sorry man!
if there's nothing wrong with the oem whats the point?

@@ronfromportland awsome! Thanks for the input. Too bad I'm too chicken shit to do that job.😫
@James Kocks ... it's shitty restrictive plastic therefore GARBAGE ... end of story
@@20VA how many drinks did you have writing this post?
Did you get a retune?
Nope, I didn’t.
does this work with the stock bcs?
This I’m not sure. I did see a review comment someone left on GS’s site for this inlet and they said they were able to transfer over the stock boost controller solenoid but they had to get smaller clamps for the red tubing.
The wire connector is a bitch to take off
Here is the latest video of how the car currently sounds! Thank you all for the support 🙏
