      @@KyleHidalgo mostly cosmetic/ interior stuff man, tan leather seats and door cards, black suede headliner and interior trim pieces, full audio system with new underseat subs under both front seats. Other than that I have a full turbo-back exhaust and a tune. I've just bought some bc coilovers though. And I'm reeeeally thinking about going Cobb stage 2+ with the cold air intake, boost control solenoid and accessport!

      Awesome, if it's your daily that's all pretty nice stuff for reliability. I would definitely recommend shooting for stage 2, you'll love it. Maybe even going for flex fuel. How was wrapping the headliner? I'm planning on doing that on my Z project

It wasn't hard at all doing the headliner, there's not many contours at all so it was good! I'll link you a video that helped me out heaps.

    • @KyleHidalgo
      @KyleHidalgo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, you'll want your tuner to send you a base map to load up so it doesn't do any damage. It's good to have an access port for that. If not you'll have to trailer it. Basically any mod on a Subaru you need a tune or you'll do some damage. They are not very adaptable.

  • @Onefsturbocrx23
    @Onefsturbocrx23 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you get a dyno tune after the wastegate install or is it cool to keep the same tune? And what happens to the electronic boost solenoid? Just leave it plugged in and sit there or hook it up to the external wastegate? But if the electronic solenoid is not working nomore,Does it put the CEL on?

    • @KyleHidalgo
      @KyleHidalgo  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had too get it returned because it works a bit differently then an internal wastegate and my tuner said you have to get an aftermarket 3 port boost control solenoid for it all to plumb and work properly. So I have it hooked up to a grimspeed 3 port with custom tune

      You mean to the up pipe? Yeah it's definitely a little tight. You might be able to get a big clamp and squeeze it together and then clamp it. You're basically fighting the spring tension

    Where do you find an uppipe with the wastegate mount on it. Im pretty new to subbies I just got an 04 sti so far I just put a bigger tubro and a CatBack on it. But I Wanna hear that StuStuStu Sound

    • @KyleHidalgo
      @KyleHidalgo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The wastegate won't give you that unfortunately, its a bit different sound but just look up grimspeed ewg uppipe and you'll find it. The sound that you're looking for comes from either a bov with a stronger spring or blocking off the bov all together but they say that they effects the life of your turbo. Not sure but unless you have cash for a new one I probably wouldn't try it lol

  • @MannyG88yo
    @MannyG88yo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Please i hope you can answer this, the dump pipe that connect to the side of the ewg what does other side get connected to? Just vent to air? The part at 7:35 one side goes into the ewg what about the other end?

    • @KyleHidalgo
      @KyleHidalgo  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You mean the other end of the dump tube? It's just open to vent air, that's why you want to make sure it's not pointed towards anything but the ground because it will burn it.

    How do you know what springs to use?

    • @KyleHidalgo
      @KyleHidalgo  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a chart that shows you which springs = what pressure. My tuner recommend 1 bar of pressure which is about 15lbs of boost. So basically if something isn't working right you'll run off just wastegate pressure which will max at 15lbs. So right now I'm at 24lbs of boost but if something messed up or the controller wasn't working I'd max at 15. You probably don't want to go much higher than that in a daily.
