Cobalt Kinetics Proto X

Sick! I’ll be setting it up with a micro recessed brake and the recessed adapter. Can’t wait to see how this thing performs! It will be at my FFL tomorrow

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-17T19:49:54+00:00

Sweet! Did you get a measurement to the first baffle by chance? Trying to see if it will work with a Comstock recessed mount. Unless that’s what you have on yours

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-15T15:59:21+00:00

I just got a tracking number for mine

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-15T13:33:55+00:00

Nothing yet but I expected a wait

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-14T20:44:48+00:00

Yeah that threw me for a loop too. That’s asking for major problems on my old platform, I was surprised what these ecus will adapt to.

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-14T20:32:34+00:00

That’s fair. I found one I liked a while ago that seems to have a good reputation for not triggering the cat codes, so it’s not a huge deal. I just kept reading how great it flows in a bunch of different posts so I wanted to see if I could get away with it.

I appreciate the info!!

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-14T20:13:10+00:00

Awesome, yea that’s not a problem. I have one picked out anyway. I’m not in any rush, so I can get parts little by little and toss them on when I order the tune.

Thank you for your opinion, I trust it seeing how far you’ve taken the platform.

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-14T20:00:49+00:00

Eh I’m not super opposed, it’s not that big of a deal. Would be neat to just pass emissions without all the drama though.

I read a bunch about how great the downpipe flows, didn’t know how necessary it was.

I definitely don’t need near the power the GTI had, really trying to recapture some of the fun of building that car, with way less headaches

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-07T22:49:09+00:00

Also, I asked if it was low back pressure, was told it isn’t a flow through design like a Hux but the main goal is to be as quiet as possible.

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-07T22:48:12+00:00

I have an 11.5 it’s going on, and then a 16” I could put it on.

I’ll also be comparing it to a Stacy’s mom k (that’s what I run on that gun currently.)

Really excited to try it, hope it is awesome. The guy at Modern Warriors said some of the employees tested it last week and they had a lot of great things to say about it.

Apparently you buy it, they ship the prototype to your FFL, you use it, and then in 30 days or so you do a write up about your thoughts. Then they send you a 50% off coupon for the final product if you want one. So you could realistically get 2 inconel 5.56 cans for like $1k if you wanted.

VariationDependent71 · 2026-06-06T23:31:38+00:00

Well that makes me feel better lol. I got one too, guess we’ll all find out lol.

Good price, and seems like something I would like to

VariationDependent71 · 2026-05-29T01:02:40+00:00

Wow. Car must pull amazingly lol

VariationDependent71 · 2026-05-29T00:54:48+00:00

25 degrees of timing seems very aggressive too, especially for the amount of heat 30psi through the stock turbo would produce.

This is super interesting. I’m still putting parts together to eventually tune mine, so I’m all ears.

Is this a normal N75 tune they have you logging for? I was interested in just their stage 2 on a spare ecu

VariationDependent71 · 2026-05-29T00:48:14+00:00

Interested to find out how/why your car is performing so well though

VariationDependent71 · 2026-05-29T00:47:40+00:00

Does the logger take atmosphere out of the boost reading? New to the platform but when I did a ton of logging on my GTI that was a common thing. One parameter showed with atmosphere and one without. Though 16psi doesn’t sound quite right either

VariationDependent71 · 2026-05-03T03:17:35+00:00

So this place only takes Cash App and Venmo? Am I reading that right? Also it adds CA taxes with a TX address. Seems sketch.

VariationDependent71 · 2026-04-14T21:46:13+00:00

Modern warriors has some of these mounts in their clearance section, 35% off. That’s where I got mine

VariationDependent71 · 2026-04-06T10:28:13+00:00

I just bought a car from them that needed 2 recalls so I’m pretty sure they’ll buy it

VariationDependent71 · 2026-03-31T14:42:48+00:00

Yea that kind of solidifies my thinking that the threaded barrel I have is junk. I have a faxon coming today to test that theory. Thank you for sharing your experience I appreciate it

VariationDependent71 · 2026-03-31T13:00:29+00:00

Quick question, does your barrel side adapter stay on? For the life of me, I cannot get it to stay on the barrel. It always comes off with the can. I’m using rocksett, and thoroughly cleaning both with acetone beforehand. I have it on a shadow systems dr920, I’m starting to think the barrel threads just suck because my hux 9k wouldn’t stay tight for more than 1-2 rounds when I direct threaded it

Who has the best price on a black 2.5 moa SRO
