  1. So I rarely drive my car and decided to take it to work today. First thing in the morning went to get gas. Drove to work like a grandma about 50 miles. Didn’t even look at my AP. When I left work today I decided to get into it a little and felt like I had no power. Look over and see my dam is at 0. Saw the the feedback knock had hit -1.4 which isn’t a big deal. Fine knock had also hit -1.4. Car was boost leak checked after the last time I drove it cause I blew the throttle body hose off so I know i don’t have leaks and boost hit almost 21 lbs on throttle. no codes triggered or pending. One problem I did see was that at full throttle my afr on my wideband was only at 12.xx when it’s usually in the 10’s. Im not sure if it is only at 12 possibly because now it isn’t getting as much load since all the timing is pulled back. No noise from the engine and other than not having power it drives normal. Im thinking I got some bad gas possibly. If anyone has any insight on this issue I would appreciate it. Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Well screwed now. Now that cobb changed the tuning software. It’s either wait and see if the dam corrects or sell the front mount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Yeah I’m going to call tomorrow. The only reason I second guessed it is because a lot of threads on here say you don’t. Maybe they can revise my current tune for a cheaper price. Doubt it tho lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. So over the winter I installed a FMIC. Reading mixed reviews of whether I actually need a new tune or a new tune would just give me more power. Anyway. Took it out for the first time today and all guage readings were good. No abnormal fuel correction or af learning. I did not get any FKL and feedback went to 1.4 but it does that every once and while and I never really think too much of it. Anyway, my DAM dropped to .750. I’m leaning more towards bad gas since the car has been sitting for 4+ months. Anyone have any input? If the general consensus is the tune I am going to get a new turbo as well. What do you guys think? Oh. Before anyone says a leak. I smoke tested and pressure tested everything when I was done so I know nothing is leaking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Yeah it went in this time. Still fought me terribly tho. After all that. Not sure if I like it. The 15 STI rack alone was awesome. With lockdown may be too much now. Gonna drive it a few more times before I make a final decision. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I had the same problem with it tilting on the rivet. After multiple attempts the bolt actually bent and stripped. Had to order more bolts for it. Wondering why it didn’t go in. Maybe shaving the rivet channel on the plate will help. Don’t really wanna do that tho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I have to take mine in for the recall. I was kind of hoping the dash would break. Saves me like $1300 if they mess it up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Check your hoses on the turbo. Mine was stubborn and wasn’t fully on and I kept getting little drips that would go right on the uppipe and smoke. Would notice it when I stopped. Sometimes it’s the simplest things Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I’ve contacted soa twice about certain issues and they told me both times to kick rocks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Well I used junior barrios jrtuned. So I’d say I’m fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Wish mine was an mt too but the autos had way lower miles when I was looking. Wasn’t too keen on buying an mt with 180k on it lol. I got mine at 100 so it gives me a little peace of mind. I don’t worry too much about getting on mine. I know my afr are on point and I monitor my knock religiously. Always check fluids before driving even though I don’t put any miles on it really. I guess if it’s gonna happen it’s gonna happen anyway but she seems good for now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Oh it does. Throws you back. Makes the car feel faster than it really is lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. You can feel the difference but you def still feel it pulling. It’s not too bad to redline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Yeah I’m the same way. I have a nice cruise route I go on. It’s prob like 15 miles each way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. You’re right prob should just leave it where it is. More power would be fun but idk if it’s worth risking it. It actually runs great. Fun to drive. 0 knock. No issues it all. Doesn’t consume oil. Although I prob wouldn’t notice oil consumption cause I only drive it once and a while anyway. I actually did a sample about 1500 miles ago. That was when I only had Cobb stage 2 but everything was perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
