What parts require a tune and what dont? // 2022-2023 Subaru WRX //  

As someone new to subaru modding, this was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video

Thanks for the video as always

Just realized you're local to STL, small world! Just bought my new 23 wrx in red, and have found your videos super insightful, thank you sir!

Thanks for the clarity sir! I'm new to the Subaru world. I just got a 22 WRX VB and I'm very paranoid to even touch it lol. But after this I think I'm going to try to grab me a little exhaust. Great stuff great info I'll be subscribing.

I just got my 23 WRX and was about to install the boomba bov adapter. After reading comments below, I wont be putting that on this week lol. But I am putting on the Perrin Max cold-air intake on Thursday. I'll have to wait for the tune when I get the Cobb Stage 1 installed later and just get it all done at once. Thanks for the video man. It was so helpful. Liked and Subscribed.

Hope the video helps! New parts are releasing every day and I want everybody to be safe 🤘

Great video and content!

This is exactly what I needed to know!

Good content

I didn’t think the charge pipe would require a tune. I guess you just save me some money!!

Love the tier list maker lol

Good content brotha

with the K&N, I advise removing the mesh insert in the box. Subaru puts it there for emissions ratings, removing it will not cause you to throw a light or fail emissions, it will add a tad more flow to compliment the K&N and will also give you slightly better sounds. For the BOV, another thing to consider is that the turbos are super low, and in snow/ice, you create a pack in failure point that could conceivably allow water in small quantities in. For the CAI, the MAF housing seems to be the largest factor. Either way you will be less restrictive with better flow, meaning a tune should be done...that being said, it seems the Perrin runs the least lean of all the brands available today...you will run lean on any CAI without a tune, if you plan to tune shortly after...just wait. if you do not plan to tune and want to gamble, follow the damn data and get the Perrin or whatever CAI runs least lean in current testing on stock tunes. For diverter valve, the primary benefit is really just eliminating the risk of boost leaks as your wrx already has a diverter, just inferior materials. This leads me to my final point. Looking at all of these airflow mods, I want to challenge all of you to look at videos of installs. Take notice at the mounting points and how convoluted they are. For instance, keeping parts of the corrugated tubing for a CAI, or keeping needless restrictive sections in the charge pipe. The connections to the turbo and intercooler could be streamlined and simplified. The stuff that is out now is honestly good, but from an engineering standpoint, they left a lot of room for improvement. What you want is as straight a pipe as possible with the least aggressive turns as possible. Silicone sleeves over the metal clip adaptors etc. Until they fix all that shit, just know you are buying an inferior part to what will be available in the market shortly in manufacturers know whats good for them. There is already divergence in the CAI for exactly what i am talking about...one of them will fix it and thats the one you should buy.

Still here with a stock VB other than a K&N filter that I just put in tonight. Thanks for all the informative vids as they are a huge help in deciding what direction I wanna go. Have you thought about coilovers? I hear nothing but good things from those that have installed them.

Car parts tier list is GENIUS 😂😂😂

Looks like im getting a GRIMMSPEED Airlifter for my next oil change xD

Charge pipes do not require a tune they are after the Maf sensor.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Would recommend a tune with an Sti badge swap. Easy 10/20 horsepower often over looked

Hi there, i enjoy your videos and someday i might consider modifying. I am from Oman (Muscat) and its really hot here specially in Summer, and I am a new owner of 22 WRX manual, and i am enjoying it sock. can you please make a video of people want to install mods without harm the factory warranty? Thanks again Fathi

A bit late to the game but I have a question about Hybrid/Dual port BOVs. They not only vent to atmosphere but also recirculate. Would that be a better choice than a normal VTA BOV?

What about a radiator shroud?

What about an intermediate pipe?

Nice this was helpful I got everything tuned on my car and close to FBO, But a leak I saw was/heard ETS made a turbo for the VB and I'm pretty sure it should be out soon.

The new wrx you hear a difference. You should check it out

Solid ass info. I love the bridging of games to cars haha tier lists FTW

What if I already got my 2022 WRX dyno tuned with a TMIC and decide to go FMIC, would I still need a tune? I was planning on installing the FMIC and going to Felix Performance or Andrew Autotech to get it dyno tuned afterwards. I just would rather save the money of installing it myself.

Mishimoto just came out with a CAI that does not require a tune. They designed and tested it to make sure its safe. I'll let you know if my car blows up 😂😂

Now what about removing the charcoal filter and adding a drop in filter?

Hi, what are your thoughts on the boomba bov adapter for a stock wrx? I just got my 23 wrx and want the turbo whoosh. It wont be on for more than like 6 months and I was wondering if it would be harmful long term.

I would not recommend a BOV for any MAF car. Even with tuning, from what I have always heard from many tuners (and my own experience with Turbo MAF cars) is you cannot properly tune for a BOV with a MAF. The MAF always expects the air to return to its system. Without that you get a rich condition. Now, if the car does not use a MAF and only runs on a MAP(My VT and my FoST were like this, or you switch run to speed density). Go wild. I really wish Subaru would have just went MAP. But if people are looking for that sound, the Intake will give that sound.

Would a intake void warranty if you don’t tune? I think that’s the main reason people are hesitant.

I want to put a bov psssh sound in my wrx 22 but without tuning what do you recommend

Imagine buying a perrin intake for some woosh sound .... Now I need a tune and a AP there's 2500.... ☠️that's why I don't want a tune access ports are too much and the putting it on a dino. Too much

what does a tune typically cost?

What should people expect to pay for a tune? I bought a Perrin Intake and they claimed no need for tuning the car but I really don't want to chance that on 42k

can the 2023 be tuned with an ap? i was told recently that it could not be tuned yet

intercooler does not need tune

FIRST 🤘🏿
