COBB Stage 2 Power Package w/ Black Intercooler 2022-2023 WRX MT / 2022-2023 WRX CVT

I must of been extremely unlucky with the quality control!

AP cable, TMIC, 3 hose clamps! All came damaged or defective!

Throttle body port right side of the TMIC wasn't machined properly. Had too much metal for the bolt to pass through so I was forced to dremel the hole out so the bolt could pass freely.

Charge pipe also wouldn't seat properly unless I put a uncomfortable amount of weight on it and even still the retaining clip needed to be smacked into place with a mallet.

Access port cable came damaged (subimods customer service took care of this for me 💯%)

3 of the hose clamps came rusted and stripped so I was forced to improvise until the next day where I could pick more up at the local shop.

I was using a lift and was doing the job in a time crunch to get off the lift so I didn't have time to record or photograph until the next day as the install took me 12 hours and each part required fabrications of some kind.

The OTS tune this comes with in my opinion should NOT be used as a daily tune. It's choppy at best and extremely rough at worst. You'll get knocks all over and DAM will drop regardless of how you drive it or type of fuel you use.

This last part is important if you get this package do yourself a favor and get the Perrin turbo inlet pipe along with it. The VB WRX comes with a built in boost leak in the turbos housing unit and this pipe fixes that leak and alot of issues that come with it.

Overall the parts are okay, install was crappy, power gains are great, but the OTS tune is garbage. If you decide to use one of the OTS tunes I'd recommend the conservative map to just get you by until you can get a proper tune.

I just can't help but, feel a little disappointed with this and the anxiety I have about the parts/car lasting isn't sitting well with me either.

Overall I'm not unhappy as the end result still looks good. Just wish it went smoother.
