Great video Joey . I’m looking forward to getting a Cobb for my vb when available down under . The stock tune even feels better with the r400 I had recently fitted .
the vb’s are temperamental and considering that some are being found to have excess RTV clogging oil pickups I would recommend not modding or tuning the 22 until 10k miles or after the factory warrant expires
She sounds nice! I twisted a lil skeleton tripod around my passenger seat headrest’s metal mounts and recorded some in car driving and it wasn’t that stable and I forgot it in the car and the plastic on the tripod kinda melted 😅 but try to mount it more stable and wider if you can and try to get the shift knob in frame as well as the windshield/side mirrors 🦾✌🏽
Thanks for watching. Yea for sure I need something more sturdy. The one I have now clips on the the head rest with an adjustable arm. The little nobs to tighten it to hold the camera in place are the weak spot as you can see. I’ll be looking for something nicer
@@JoeyMontalto Nice! I’m down that way quite often. Been thinking of grabbing one of these. Test drove a premium and loved it. Need something that is a little better on fuel than my Explorer ST.
@@notmyrealname2.0 I think the Turbosmart dual port and the Cobb stage 1 tune will work perfect. The Turbosmart plumback I have installed works perfect with the stage 1 tune
With the Cobb stage 1 tune you can change the Catback exhaust with zero issues. You can run some intakes on the stock tune great but no intake except the stock unit will work well with the Cobb stage 1 ots.
@@JoeyMontalto oh wow so whats the point of adding more performance mods? would i then have to go to a tuner or something? i appreciate you Joey love your vids man just bought a 22 wrx last week
The tune isn't gonna account for all that extra air. You gotta run the parts that the map thinks you have or it can have a negative effect on your car.
The tune is for a stock intake. Yes the ets intake does not require a tune if you are stock tune. The maf housing is the same size so the maf does not need to be rescaled. With the tune and the intake installed people have reported DAM dropping meaning the car doesn’t like the intake with the ots map
Not trying to argue, but if Cobb tune didn't like it and picked it up then most likely running it without a tune is questionable? Just doesn't make sense. Might have to reach out to ETS to defend themselves. Your not the only one who's complaining about this. I follow multiple forums and it's a thing for sure. Just don't want to damage my car or see others over 9hp and some intake noises. Sorry to blow up your thread.
@@bryanallendorf7064 all good man I like having convos and helping out. The ets intake works on the stock tune as normal as it has enough adjustment in the ecu to adapt. With the extra boost from Cobb stage 1 tune the ets intake is not ideal anymore with the extra air spooling the turbo faster and holding boost longer than intended for the tune. Currently there is no intake on the market we can run with the stage 1 tune safely. Protunes will be available soon so any intake will work. Same issue happened when the intake came out and people with the jb4. The jb4 preset maps 1 and 2 do not work with the intake. You have to customize map 5 with the jb4 to make the intake work.
My dam dropped as well on 93, it did relearn very quickly back to 1 within 5 minutes of driving. Idk about yous but ive never had any fbk at wot or fkl at wot, everything is just cruise knock and im convinced its the ac compressor. Mine has that grinding whirling noise at idle and thinking when at low rpm its just thinking its knock and its dropping dam bc its seeing it so frequently.
It’s in settings > favorite widgets I believe. You can set which you want to display along top. If you mean boost gauge on instrument cluster, toggle the info tabs on bottom left steering wheel flaps
Why did you take off the ETS intake? It's safe? And you know if you hold the tracton control button down you can totally defeat traction control. Track mode limits wheel spin if you want to have fun in snow or for some people, dirt.
The ets intake is designed to work with the stock tune. The Cobb tune does not support an intake. Others are posting their DAM dropping with the intake installed and the Cobb ots tune. Yes, I know if you hold it down it turns it off. It only does that if you are stopped going 0. In the video I was cruising while I clicked the button.
@@JoeyMontalto still haven't seen any data that they were supposed to release after sending off to be further tested as in there description on web page. Subaru has already flagged mine and documented it. My A.C. compresser went out. In waiting on the part and to get fixed before I do anything else to the car. I've done wheels with 255's turbo back and color matched. So they were suspect when they saw all I've done I'm sure. SOA don't play.
Great video. The Cobb OTS Stage 1 is fun to drive. Great exhaust notes. Wild to see how far your build has come from stage 1 to your STI swap.
Love the content man. Can’t wait for next spring so I can do coils and wheels. Stock life for now

Go for it! Thanks for watching!
With the wheels, where do you go to have the new TPS installed? I’ve heard they are a nightmare on the new WRXs.
I transferred the tpms from the stock wheels to the new wheels. Did not need to reprogram or anything
Damn bro that pull broke my neck
See your in Nc as well, im up on the outer banks if your ever up this way I’d love to meet up with you. We have the same color vb’s lol
Great content , what would you suggest for the first 5 mods? And after how many mile should they be installed. I’m new to Subaru. Thanks I’m advance

Thanks for watching! I haven't yet as I just moved down to Wilmington area. I will definitely go to some shows in the future!

Are you still running the turbosmart bov?
Yes I have turbosmart plumback installed still
@@JoeyMontalto what's your opinion on cobb stage 1 with the dual port bov? I'm a little worried it might run too rich, but not sure.
@@notmyrealname2.0 I think the Turbosmart dual port and the Cobb stage 1 tune will work perfect. The Turbosmart plumback I have installed works perfect with the stage 1 tune
@@JoeyMontalto thanks! Btw, love the wrx with the r400. sounds great
Are you still running the ets intake with the Cobb tune? Nvm I watched rest of video lol. Will you reinstall the intake when you can get it pro tuned?
I will install a new intake once we have some more options available and yes a tune with the intake
so the cobb stage 1 tune is only good for when you have no mods done to the car?

@@theaverageoffroader you make more power with the performance mods. You will need a tune when you start adding parts.
Why did you remove your ETS intake?, it requires no tune, so shouldn't it read as stock with the access port?

Even though you technically don't need a tune you should always still get a tune with any new intake
The camera mount can't handle all that power 😎
😂lol right. I’ve been searching for better ones. This one was a fail haha
@@JoeyMontalto I literally use the headrest on my passengers side to hold my phone/ camera in my Sti. Has held steady under wot pulls and twisties m.
how does the fortune auto 500 feels? plannig to get it hopefully by december
Coils feel great! Best decision I made for parts so far. The 500s drive super smooth! If they have a black Friday sale you should jump on them!
@@JoeyMontalto Are they smoother than stock?
@@atumanov55 yes I think so. Default spring rates
I have some headphones on, how close is the audio to IRL cabin noise because it sounds awesome.
cabin noise in the video is very close to irl
God I hate those drivers in this city
You have any issues with the DAM dropping? Mine dropped so I flashed to the 91, even though I’m on 93. It seems to be holding at 1. Might retry the 93
My DAM has stayed at 1 and hasn't dropped. I saw a post some people were having the DAM drop some
@@JoeyMontalto well I spoke to soon it dropped on 91 lol
