Great to see videos when yer on the move, fun to ride along. Good to see the lady boss sneaking in a bit. We can't live without em! Can't wait for tune numbers. Peace
Watching this vid...again bro, trying to figure it out whether I'll do turbo inlet myself or not, just waiting for my goodies to arrived, and getting ready to work on it before the cold start kicking again. ETS FMIC, Speed Density Kit, CSF Racing radiator, AEM Fuel Pump, Killer B Holy Header, Grimmspeed Up Pipe, Tial EWG and BOV Q, the rest i still have to order it at the shop, going full bolts on with E85 tune.🔧🔧🔧ready to beat up my hands and fry my mind on this.
Man, I just watched the last couple episodes in a row. What a roller coaster. You bring up something I never thought of. You gotta be careful with aftermarket parts playing nice together. Perrin probably put the master cylinder brace through a lot of tests and were really happy with it. But the thought of someone running an E85 kit never went through their mind. Awesome you got it running and that the tune got moved UP! ONE thing right now that actually didn't get delayed or canceled! And yeah, get out of the house. BRZ drone vids on the curvey roads you had the STi on!
Totally agree, and I did not expect it to fit, the thing that really got under my skin was the use of an allen bolt instead of a normal 10mm bolt head 😅 And definitely going to be getting out more with the BRZ and using the drone some.more 🔥😁
The cobb v1 comes with a t fitting to replace the upper fitting and is intentionally longer to be trimed to fit if somebody needs to know,perrin is slimmer and pettier tho
I’ve been watching your videos now for about a month and I’ve decided your my favorite Subaru channel going right now. I’m rocking a Perrin 3” inlet on my STI and I like it. Phenolic manifold spacers give you that extra wiggle room.
Eyyyyy, appreciate the support my friend! What size spacers did you go with for that inlet? I'm using the 3mm which added a tint bump but helped a little bit
@@Dave-so7sf I was worried my 3" fp inlet was going to be too snug for my build. But I'm going to be running the 8mm spacers as well. That's one issue off my worry list.
Smeedia for sure I would have been salty too! Lol I just booked my dyno day at P&L Motorsport and they actually steered me away from that Cobb inlet to the Perrin one when I was gathering my parts for my build. I think you’ll be happy with it!
Man I definitely wish I went your route with the FP Blue. I'm actually doing a near identical build to you on my 2007. Only differences are I have built long block, ID 1300s, 84mm FP Blue, Process West TMIC, and stayed on unequal headers. I spent hours getting my TGV deletes, turbo, intake manifold, and power steering pump to all fit. I mean this turbo is going to be sucking air through a straw... bad choice by me and I don't even know why they offer 84mm... I have a GT3076R before and the 3 inch inlet barely fit. Love the videos man, and I've referred a lot to them for some of the components I've been putting on my car.
I can only imagine the nightmare of making it all fit, thr smaller compressor housing has been doing wonders for me. I was lookong at the 84mm as well and had initially planed on using one, had the turbo inlet already then last minute changed my mind. Appreciate the support and glad the videos are helping! 🔥😁
Still going to be doing a lot of in depth videos, can't not make them, but going to spice it up a little bit 😁 channel was started on how tos and topics and will always make them 😁
@@Smeedia haven't ordered! That V2 would be perfect and I needed it to complete my IAG AOS install. Not turning back on the stock inlet lol. I'm going to try to talk to smy if they'll exchange it for me.
Smeedia awesome, yeah I think it would be great if more people watched the vids plus you’ll probably answer a lot of questions I see people ask on those groups.😎👍🏻👍🏻
Love how to transitioned a bit more to vlogging with this one. Quick question! Why don't you prefer the Perrin on? I have the 3 inch Perrin, but thinking of getting the hard metal Agency Power one since the car is apart waiting on it's engine.
@@Smeedia haha, I remember that, so that makes sense. You got unlucky on that for sure. I haven't had an issue with mine when everything else was done.
Smeedia you da man! Can’t wait to see them! Wanted to say thank you man. Your videos have helped me out a lot learning more and more about the flat 4’s man! And just random stuff too. You are informative and entertaining as well! Love your style of videos man keep killin it on your dream of doing this full time man! Oh and I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE SUBIES FIRST START UP!!
Hey brother, what exactly was the issue with the other inlets? I just got the COBB one, and I wonder if I should send it back and get the Perrin one? Thanks for your time! 😉 Ps: almost 30k subscribers, and you still answer questions from people like me; you are fantastic!
If you have the Cobb V2 I let your solid, i had the V1 and ran into fitment issues and compatability issues. The perrin is a good option but if you've already got the newer Cobb inlet your solid 😁🔥
Was about to order the Perrin turbo inlet for the WRX but I did realize that there is no spot for the boost controller so I held off. Any suggestions on where to relocate it? I am open to any brands as well as I haven't ordered the inlet just yet because of this.
@@Smeedia No missing a port, just didn’t see a spot to mount the boost control solenoid the way that it mounts to the factory inlet. Maybe I’m missing something?
Hey just wondering if that Perrin Inlet you are using are for your stock turbo? If so what is the inner diameter? Cheers. One love from the down under🤙
Hey man, how is the Motul 5w-30 xclean efe? I plan on running that in my 2012 WRX soon, right now I’m running Pennzoil platinum which is also a great oil, I heard Motul has really good addictives and stuff in it which is making me consider the switch.
Smeedia That’s awesome to hear man! I’m about to buy some right now for my WRX, I appreciate it! I can’t wait to see the results once you get them back.
Smeedia I want to stay stock turbo location and as far as numbers go I don’t really know...something that’s realistic, but I also want to do like a semi aggressive setup. I have forged internals on my 11 sti and was wondering about the Fp green. I’ve watched as many as your videos to get an idea on the fp blue and realized that you’ve only choose it bc you don’t want your stock block to take a poop quite yet.
Bummer. (I do NOT have the Cobb, see edit lol) I've got the blue Perrin one to match my intake pipe. Why didn't it fit, is it the turbo location? Too big? Ps I'm diggin it, traveling around, sequence shots like you're in requiem for a dream lol Edit: never mind- I'm an idiot, I do have the Perrin, in blue lol my bad. Whoopsies!
Someone sent him cobb v1 instead of cobb v2. IDK. You can buy the cobb v2 from many people including Cobb themselves. Some vendors are just sold out at the moment, for about another week. So if he were to order another one I would assume it might not make it in time for the tune.
The Cobb V1 was too long and the fitment was trash around the TGVs, I called Cobb, IAG and a lot of other smaller shops to see if anyone had one and no one had a V2 inlet. I could have waited theb9 days to get one but it would put us too close to the tune date to get everything done 🙃
damn your gas is expensive. gas went down to 80cents here in ny in my area cause of covid19lol i scooped up about 50gal of it which isnt much for me sense my truck takes 36gal but had too thought it was a chance by god but it wasnt lol
Thanks for stopping by!!!! #OnTheTeam - Love the content
Appreciate the support to the channel and everything you guys do! 😁
Great to see videos when yer on the move, fun to ride along. Good to see the lady boss sneaking in a bit. We can't live without em! Can't wait for tune numbers. Peace

It was awesome seeing you today Tanner!!!
Good seeing you my man! 🔥😁
Yes take us out and about, it's fun to get away from the shop for a little while and maybe meet some of your buddies!
Going to do a video here soon of meeting the new roommates, but definitely going to make more of these 😁
That one person who gave this video a thumbs down is mad about catching the pigeon.
🤣🤣🤣 I mean if they did I hope they're alright, just a little salty I guess 😅

The turbo inlet is a pain to install but overall of your doing everything you listed it shouldent be too bad to knock out 🙏
my stock turbo inlet just tore. cant believe it takes so much to take the intake off on a 14 wrx

Appreciate the support my man! Going to start making more vlog style videos as well 👍😁😁
I finally got out today!! Thanks for taking me with!!! 😂😂😂 more of that would be pretty cool 👍 by the way
Definitely going to incorporate more of it 😁
I replaced my 08 STI fogs too recently. Definitely want to out some sort of film protectant on there. I think I picked some up from RSD.
I need to put some clear vinyl protectant on the fogs. Don't want to demolish the new ones 😅
The cobb v1 comes with a t fitting to replace the upper fitting and is intentionally longer to be trimed to fit if somebody needs to know,perrin is slimmer and pettier tho
I liked the perrin one over the V1 Cobb, I was also salty with perrin because of the master cylinder brace I had to cut off 😅

Glad you went with a Perrin inlet that’s the best one to get!

Correct 2.4"
definitely digging the vlog style of videos, cool to see the real world in the background even tho ur beautiful face is enough for us (:

I couldn't resist 🤣🤣🤣

Tukwila hhmmmm not far out gotta check that TMG, thanks for sharing that place. 🔥🔥🔥
anytime! They've got lots of good parts on hand 😁
Is there anything in particular about the Perrin inlet that you don't like?
Vlog style videos thrown in are dope too 😎
Trying to spice things up a little bit 😁
Those damn birds when you were getting the boxes 😂
Bruh for real 😅😅😅
Thanks again for sending out the VF48! \m/

Do you need a tune to upgrade the turbo inlet
Vlog works! See the world.
Going to start adding some more in 😁
dude!! i got that same cobb turbo inlet! makes me scratch my head. gotta wait now..
Did you get the V2?! The V2 is the good one!
@@Smeedia haven't ordered! That V2 would be perfect and I needed it to complete my IAG AOS install. Not turning back on the stock inlet lol. I'm going to try to talk to smy if they'll exchange it for me.

It’s a change of scenery.
AWESOME! Adds more to the channel.
Going to incorporate more of them into the channel. Enjoyed making that one 😁 also saw you added me to some FB groups! Answered the admits questions 😁

Grimmspeed or Cobb 🙏

And the brz’s transformation from Naturally aspirated to turbo charged
Don't know if I missed it but why did the Cobb one not work out for you?
Fitment was meh, this was their V1 and it was missing one of thr PCV ports i needed ( at the time I thought I needed it)
What do you think of the Cobb v2? I saw on your recent video the Perrin wasn’t fitting great on the post maf hose
I never got my hands on one 😭
Definitely enjoyed the vlog style man! 👍🏼
Good to hear! They're fun to shoot and edit. Def going to add more 😁
Keep on doin the outnabout thing!
More to come 🔥😁
Tomei Turbo Inlet!!!
They only made them for 02-07 😅
@@Smeedia 2004+ STI
Well I totally read the fitment wrong, just double checked and you right 😅
More vlogs! I love the build video, but I also like the daily life stuff!
Going to add more daily life stuff, still will be car related but editing the blog style videos are much more fun!
Ouuuuuuuuuu! Brian got yo money again 😂
All my money goes to that man 🤣

@@Smeedia You are the best! 😉
Glad I didn’t order the Cobb V2 Inlet just yet. May order a Perrin turbo inlet instead now. Never had an issue with the last one on my old Sti.
I've used the perrin jnket on multiple STIs, its a good fit and works well. Though I would try something new 😅
I feel you. Glad you pointed out the differences between the inlets. I never would have noticed until I went to install it as well.
That’s a lot of work. But it will be worth
Can't wait to see it all done and back together 😍
Digging the vlog
Thank you, more of them to come! 🔥😁
Little behind on your vids, but definitely enjoyed a different style here!
Appreciate the feedback and definitely more to come 😁
Liking the vlog style videos. When are you going to start modding the lady friends subi??
We want to do some mods to it, just unsure of what it is we want to do 😅
Hi bro i have a question .... i am wanna get the turbo inlet for 2018 sti is stock what size should i get ?
Stock size is 2.4" snd I'd suggest perrin 🙏
Hey what do you think of the apr GTC 200 wing? I want to get a wing for my wrx but the GTC 300 is just a bit out of my budget
I've never seen the GTC 200 in person so I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it 😅
My mechanic says these need a tune? Doesn't seem right.

@@Smeedia No missing a port, just didn’t see a spot to mount the boost control solenoid the way that it mounts to the factory inlet. Maybe I’m missing something?
There's a spot on the front of the perrin for thr boost controllers vacuum hose. You need to reuse the OE port but a lot of people also use Tomei
@@Smeedia Thanks brotha
crazy i know exactly where you are lol i live around there
Eyyyyy 🙌🙌🙌
I’ll buy that one you have for the fp black off of you?
Done deal! Shoot me a message on IG and we can get it squared away and sent to you!
do a turbo inlet yard sale, ill drive from Ohio to get one for mine, lol
I'll set one outside for ya 😅

I'm currently using moutl efe 5w30 in the STI now and the car has responded well to it. Sending out an oil sample of it today 😁
Smeedia That’s awesome to hear man! I’m about to buy some right now for my WRX, I appreciate it! I can’t wait to see the results once you get them back.
Is the inlet made for a V1 or V2? 😂 I got the Perrin one too.. you don’t have to remove the intake manifold, but f it’s a pain in the 🥜
Lol was soooooo much easier to remove the manifold. I've done a few with it still on and its awful 😅
What is this Red Bull drink you keep grabbing? I love Red Bull wondering what I should mix it with that’s not alcohol
Lol I normal get a Redbull with lemonade, blackberry and raspberry. Super hot fire! 😁 also good with vodka 🤣
are you gona run 0 40w with the new performance ?
Staying with the 5W30 for oil
Whats wrong with the perrin one? Probably the best inlet you can get and thats only because grimmspeed and iag dont make one
I'm just salty about perrin right now since I had to cut off that master cylinder brace, nothing wrong with the inlet and its good quality 😅
@@Smeedia the perrin inlet is the only perrin product ill use
I think that inlet is the only perrin product I have on the STI now. They use to make such high quality products a few years back!
I had a Perrin T inlet and charge pipe in my WRX and they were perfect. Their stuff is top quality.
@@emartinezr theyve gone downhill, their inlet is the best though.
Why didn’t you go for the fp black?
A FP Black would turn my motors inside out lol 😅
Lol what would you recommend for someone with forged internals but a stock casing.
Whats your power goal for the car and are you wanting to stay stock location or rotated?
Smeedia I want to stay stock turbo location and as far as numbers go I don’t really know...something that’s realistic, but I also want to do like a semi aggressive setup. I have forged internals on my 11 sti and was wondering about the Fp green. I’ve watched as many as your videos to get an idea on the fp blue and realized that you’ve only choose it bc you don’t want your stock block to take a poop quite yet.
The FP Green or FP Red would be good choices for a forged internal block. Depending on what power level your shooting for. 🔥😁
It would be cool to follow you around in public on your vlog.
I need to work on being more comfortable in public with a camera, after 7 months of filming myself its still. Little weird in public 😅
When does the brz get the turbo?
Once the house sells 😁 BRZ is the next project 🔥
@@Smeedia sweet 👍🏻💪🏻😷
Bummer. (I do NOT have the Cobb, see edit lol) I've got the blue Perrin one to match my intake pipe.
Why didn't it fit, is it the turbo location? Too big?
Ps I'm diggin it, traveling around, sequence shots like you're in requiem for a dream lol
Edit: never mind- I'm an idiot, I do have the Perrin, in blue lol my bad. Whoopsies!
Someone sent him cobb v1 instead of cobb v2. IDK. You can buy the cobb v2 from many people including Cobb themselves. Some vendors are just sold out at the moment, for about another week. So if he were to order another one I would assume it might not make it in time for the tune.

Because no one gave me discounts or any parts
first it was the tp, then the hand sanitizers, then the nintendo switches, NOW THE TURBO INLETS. NOOOOO
I'm taking them allllll 😈
sell those inlets lol!
Cobb one is sold, someone wanted the torque solutions one 😅
Social distance yourself away from the garage 👍
