I have a wrx, but I want an STI so bad. But with how high fuel prices are, I'm not sure if it's the best decision at this moment. But I want one all the more considering that they discontinued the STI.

I have a GFB Deceptor Pro II TMS on my 2019 WRX STI Limited and never had any issues with having my BOV installed. With the deceptor pro, I can adjust from 0 to 100 either to vent or recirculation. I only have it set to 90% recirculating. One of the best BOV's to buy. Other than that, nice ride. Already upgraded the Killer B oil pickup and baffle. Need the oil pan and will look into those 6 other upgrades.

Your style of modifying is on par with how I would love to do my ‘19 STI. I want to model my build after yours. A gentleman’s STI if you will. Haha. I am glad you are holding on to it. Keep the content coming. I am excited to see what you do next.

Just got my first subaru 2018 wrx limited and im to old to go crazy on power i just want long lasting fun car and this video sent me down a rabbit hole lol but i cant thank you enough for the info im trying to learn more...i already know that this isnt the most favorite engine but im not building speed just a fun daily this car came stock thank god but awsome video gotta a sub. Gotta watch some of your other videos now.

You forgot two, the turbo inlet instead of our brittle POS stock ones. At least in my GD chassis they were and the coil packs the OTL ones are much better.

I just got a 2017 Subaru wrx that’s been modded quite a bit, but it’s had a lot of tasteful mods done where it runs killer but still reliable for a daily. I’m running the same wheels, and mine has coil overs on it lowered about an inch. A big upgrade I’d advise if you’re building power is upgraded half shafts, I feel a lot better about mine knowing I’m not going to disintegrate half shafts.

Nice video .your Subie looks amazing bro. I got my Subie second hand and am trying to put regulars back on. Cus its kinda giving me problems idk.

If you do the BPV mod keep in mind if you got it for the “swosh 💨” noise, you’ll only hear it really well paired up with an intake, and you’ll need to retune for an intake mod.

Beautiful car man

In any setup you add more air to your Subaru get the supporting mode to go with it Add intake tmic down pipe etc then you add a bigger fuel pump and a pressure regulator and increase fuel pressure on your motor

I'm not super firmilar with these cars but found a good deal in my opinion for a 2017 wrx. Anyhow are they still 100k water pump timing belt etc or did these newer ones get better? Iv had some older subs but not that new.

Man seriously just drove by a cop at 4k rpm. Big respect

what do you do for a living to build the sti like that? my goal right now is to get a 2018+ and do some light mods any advice? thanks

Is it really worth getting a tmic and charge pipe with no other mods?

surprised you said upgraded intercooler dont require a tune, if you chaing the air temp that means densor air.. I did all those mods minuse blow off valve and oil pan. GOing to revsiit those 2 and an E85 flex fuel mod. in near future. I dont like the loud exhaust my 700HP F150 is so loud you cant have a convo in the cab I wish I did the E85 and the larger oil pan when I had the other done. It has a tune on it now. But not chaisng HP just reliable and better than stock..

I'm confused. You mentioned that with a FMIC, it would need a tune due to changes in flow and piping. But then for an upgraded TMIC, it doesn't need a tune but you get more flow than the stock TMIC. How would getting an upgraded TMIC not need a tune if it has more flow design and volume compared to the stock TMIC? And if I did get an upgraded TMIC, would I also need an uprgraded Bypass Valve with the upgraded TMIC?

@Scoobyfreak86

Front mount piping is completely changed compared to top mount. Tmic is in the same location with the same piping. It just holds more air. It doesn’t change the flow of the system. You can run stock bpv on any setup. There is no need to really upgrade it over stock unless you are pushing way more power. And even so, the stock bpv has been known to hold over 400hp just fine.
