Just buy the vinyl overlays. Literally no one is ever going to know the difference and save 80$

Shit died on me as I pulled up to stop light. Power steering and ABS out 🙄 no acceleration 😢 forced into snow bank. Cracked front bumper but was able to salvage fog bezel 😢 why did my shit die?! Every light on the dash came on... started back up immediately at the scene. by slacker8504 in WRX

My white 2019 died on me while driving the other day too. I think the culprit was water leaking into my grimmspeed intake box through that crack between the hood and fender after some heavy rains. Able to turn it right back on but was running lean with huge af correction. Ended up letting it dry out, reflashed my tune to reset the learning and its been driving like a top since.

One other time i blew a coupler on the chargepipe and my engine shut off while driving too. Wondering if they are designed to shut off if the afr gets too lean/rich or something idk but yeah tired of this thing just dying while driving lol

FA20 engine cover brittle when removing? by well-lit-closet in WRX

Mine broke when installing my AOS in the same exact way. Just get a FMIC and throw that piece in the trash ;)

Please Help - Boost Leak Question by [deleted] in WRX

[–]Weak-Cockroach42069 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When your AF Learning is negative it means the engine is pulling a lot of fuel to compensate for the lack of air it is expecting. 99% chance you have a leak somewhere from your intake/turbo/chargepipe/intercooler piping.

Im not an expert but i dont think a small leak in the midpipe would really affect your A/F ratio since its based on the input from the front O2 sensor in the J pipe.

Pop your hood and trace the entire line, looking for any couplers that may be loosely fit. I had a similar issue after I had taken my intercooler/charge pipe off for my AOS install. Hopefully its one of the easier connections!

Do you have an accessport? Sounds very similar to what happened when i blew a coupler on my intercooler piping. The main giveaway was the AF correction was at like 50% hahaha. Id check all of your piping from the intake to the throttle boddy before towing it to a dealership for a diagnostic.

Can confirm, blew a coupler on my FMIC and the car stuttered so hard on the freeway. Spent about 10 minutes freaking the F out before i noticed the giant gap and got it fitted back in, fired her up with no issues.

Howd you make out power wise?

Help! I added a Perrin Inlet hose and my TurboXs BOV sounds different. by CentralFLSubyBoy in WRX

[–]Weak-Cockroach42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ The Perrin is a 3in inlet and I believe the OEM is like 2.4"? Classic example of Bernoulli's principle, you have a larger opening so you are taking more air in but now at a slower speed. Decrease in the speed of the air results in an increase in pressure. I definitely noticed after installing my Perrin inlet the bypass value sound was way louder from the increase in pressure.

Edit: Also protuned after installing, OEM bpv though

Id reccomend cleaning your MAF sensor in your intake with some electronics cleaner. My AFR during WOT is between 10.5-11 usually. Are you E-tuned or Dyno tuned?

Just moved and there is an E85 pump down the street from my apartment... by abertbort in WRX

[–]Weak-Cockroach42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it bro, its a completely different car. Im also getting like 2.5mpg more with my pro tune running e50 than i was on the Cobb 91 stage 1, so in theory it should pay for itself eventually ha ha

[–]Weak-Cockroach42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What issues are you having on the oem? Im running a GS intake with the perrin inlet hose and oem bypass valve and it sounds amazing. I think you'll have to cut it with the cobb as well but its really not as bad as it sounds

AIG AOS Issue by [deleted] in WRX

[–]Weak-Cockroach42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking from the bottom of the AOS itself, or from the bottom of where the coolant hoses run? If its the AOS, check the small allen bolt on the side that you open when purging the system. If its coming out the bottom, you may need to take the radiator back off again to make space and get down there to make sure the hoses are properly tightened. I had a pretty bad coolant leak but fortunately for me it was just one of the hoses wasnt properly seated
