  1. Welcome to the group. Hopefully you enjoy your time with these cars. They can be fun, or a nightmare, or both lol. Unfortunately this group is not very active, but the forum still has good info and people tend to engage when you ask questions after you've already done some research. If you're on Facebook, check out NEOSOC (North Eastern Ohio Subaru Owners Club). It's a good resource for shop suggestions and meet ups but that's pretty much it. Most of the traffic is people taking screenshots of their AP and expecting the group to tell them what's wrong with their car or asking for the millionth time "wIlL tHeSe RiMs FiT??" so it gets annoying.
  2. Oh gotcha. That's actually the shop I've been going to recently. A bit of a drive from Cleveland, but worth it in my opinion. Aaron is great. It's definitely valuable to have someone with so much knowledge be so willing to share it. It's a fine line between wanting to patronize their shop and build a reputation vs not wanting to have a reason to need to bring my car to a shop haha
  3. Interested as to which shops you dealt with? I'm in Cleveland on the east side and I've been bouncing between a couple shops trying to feel them out.
  4. Been a while since I saw an lgt in the heights, but just saw a black sedan with black wheels in front of Swenson's on Cedar around noon. I was sitting in the parking lot in my wagon
  5. Cross posted, but I recently picked up a contractor table saw. It was actually pretty tricky getting the base to fit, but I wasn't surprised when it did! The guy selling it was though haha
  6. I think I'm just gonna go the wrap route too. probably have enough left over from wrapping my up and dp and still have some ceramic spray paint leftover too. Just staring at the nuts/bolts holding them together.. i dont think they're coming apart cleanly
  7. How has everyone's header heat shields held up? Mine are pretty much shot and I'm installing an up pipe this weekend and I'm less than confident I'll get them off in one piece.. started soaking them with PB blaster tonight in preparation. Maybe I'll just wrap them with some DEI stuff i have leftover, but not sure how that'll hold up in the long run being right next to the road (I took the diaper off a while ago)
  8. Someone asked for snow pics so here are a few. Finally starting to look like spring here so I'll be swapping out the winter wheels this weekend
  9. I do and am in mentor every now and then but live in Cleveland heights. My winter wheels are plastidipped aqua so if that's what you saw, that was me haha. I met a guy last year who also has a swp wagon tho. Not sure if he's on here
  10. They have self serve kiosks now so no visual inspection, just plug in obdII. Passed without mufflers
  11. That makes sense. I was wondering what the threshold would be for making it over boost, but I imagined you'd have to be pushing it hard for the wastegate to be unable to keep up. Thanks for the input. And yeah, that neosoc page drives me nuts. I mostly use it to try to find local shops
  12. It's exactly what you said.. Cobb doesn't recommend using catless dp used with AP because of the risk of over boosting with the stage 2 maps. I hadn't been planning on going catless. I was planning on replacing my rotted dp with a used oem, but I got the invidia for $100 so if I plan to go catted instead, it'll be easy to recoup my money. I don't have any experience with tuning so I'd rather err on the side of caution and listen to the people who at least seem like they know what they're doing. I did talk to a couple guys on here who didn't have issues with the AP/catless so maybe the possibility of over boosting is slim? Straight from the horses mouth: "A catted downpipe would be best. We always recommend using a downpipe with a high flow catalytic converter, not only to help meet emissions standards, but also for performance and safety of the car. In some vehicles we support, using a race or non-catted downpipe can cause boost creep, or uncontrollable boost. This is typically something that tuning can not fix as it is a mechanical issue that can only be resolved with a catted downpipe, porting the wastegate, or by using an EWG with a custom tune. You should keep a close eye on your boost levels to make sure the car hits the proper boost target and tapers towards redline. Kyle@COBB"
  13. Yeah I was just saying I liked the logging features of the AP. I got a good price on a catless invidia dp so the AP is unlikely at this point. I'm leaning more toward getting a tune at TPG.. just need to sort out an oil leak, among other items, to get it ready for the dyno. If I can't, I might get a catted dp instead and go with the AP. Anyone in the area running a catless dp?
  14. Sorry I meant tuning. Do you plug it in and you're good to go? Or do you have to go do pulls like with the dyno? The logging and live feed is why I wanted an AP even if I didn't use it for the tune. I hate not having a boost gauge like my speed3 did haha
  15. Well that's good to know. I would like having the AP even just for the data logging. Maybe I can find one on the cheap. How does the timing work with the AP? Still need to do runs like with the dyno? I needto nail this oil leak I have, just haven't made the time. Maybe when it warms up
