- Are you still confused about what parts require a tune and what dont? Well lets talk about it! Many parts are coming out daily for the 2022-2023 Subaru WRX and its hard to keep track. We have a lot of new owners and it can be difficult to figure out what part you can buy and safely run. We have intakes, diverter valve, jpipes, headers. Lots of different parts can go on your car but not all are safe to run with a tune! Join me as we figure out what 2022 WRX parts require a tune and what dont! We have parts from Perrin, ETS, Grimmspeed, IAG. Lots of great manufacturures are building parts for the 2022 WRX and im here for it!

As someone new to subaru modding, this was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video
A few years ago I was in the same boat. I'm glad it's helping 🤘
Hope the video helps! New parts are releasing every day and I want everybody to be safe 🤘
Just realized you're local to STL, small world! Just bought my new 23 wrx in red, and have found your videos super insightful, thank you sir!
Thanks for the clarity sir! I'm new to the Subaru world. I just got a 22 WRX VB and I'm very paranoid to even touch it lol. But after this I think I'm going to try to grab me a little exhaust. Great stuff great info I'll be subscribing.
Thanks for the video as always
I just got my 23 WRX and was about to install the boomba bov adapter. After reading comments below, I wont be putting that on this week lol. But I am putting on the Perrin Max cold-air intake on Thursday. I'll have to wait for the tune when I get the Cobb Stage 1 installed later and just get it all done at once. Thanks for the video man. It was so helpful. Liked and Subscribed.
I didn’t think the charge pipe would require a tune. I guess you just save me some money!!
Great video and content!
Thank you for the support! 🤘
Love the tier list maker lol
Good content
This is exactly what I needed to know!
I'm glad it helped! This is why I made it 🤘
@@HeavyMetalWRX Can you make one for which mods void your warranty?
@@o0oCircleso0o I definitely can!
with the K&N, I advise removing the mesh insert in the box. Subaru puts it there for emissions ratings, removing it will not cause you to throw a light or fail emissions, it will add a tad more flow to compliment the K&N and will also give you slightly better sounds. For the BOV, another thing to consider is that the turbos are super low, and in snow/ice, you create a pack in failure point that could conceivably allow water in small quantities in. For the CAI, the MAF housing seems to be the largest factor. Either way you will be less restrictive with better flow, meaning a tune should be done...that being said, it seems the Perrin runs the least lean of all the brands available today...you will run lean on any CAI without a tune, if you plan to tune shortly after...just wait. if you do not plan to tune and want to gamble, follow the damn data and get the Perrin or whatever CAI runs least lean in current testing on stock tunes. For diverter valve, the primary benefit is really just eliminating the risk of boost leaks as your wrx already has a diverter, just inferior materials. This leads me to my final point. Looking at all of these airflow mods, I want to challenge all of you to look at videos of installs. Take notice at the mounting points and how convoluted they are. For instance, keeping parts of the corrugated tubing for a CAI, or keeping needless restrictive sections in the charge pipe. The connections to the turbo and intercooler could be streamlined and simplified. The stuff that is out now is honestly good, but from an engineering standpoint, they left a lot of room for improvement. What you want is as straight a pipe as possible with the least aggressive turns as possible. Silicone sleeves over the metal clip adaptors etc. Until they fix all that shit, just know you are buying an inferior part to what will be available in the market shortly in manufacturers know whats good for them. There is already divergence in the CAI for exactly what i am talking about...one of them will fix it and thats the one you should buy.
Good content brotha
Thank you! It's a video that will hopefully help people today and future owners. These questions come up all the time so figured why not just get it all out there. 🤘
It's 101 every car owner needs to know before modding
Car parts tier list is GENIUS 😂😂😂
I'm slowly overlapping all the things I love in my videos ...cars, metal, and video games...🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX I use to play world of Warcraft a lot and everyone wants tier lists when a new patch comes out 😂
@@pharmztko bro, I played wow for 16 years..... Dnoir, Deaths Demise, baby. I had it all. 😭
Looks like im getting a GRIMMSPEED Airlifter for my next oil change xD
Still here with a stock VB other than a K&N filter that I just put in tonight. Thanks for all the informative vids as they are a huge help in deciding what direction I wanna go. Have you thought about coilovers? I hear nothing but good things from those that have installed them.
Think of it this way.. when you finally are ready you'll have every bit of information you need to make an informed decision. 🤘
in my 2016 i did the same thing on day 1...but rip out that BS mesh, it is there for emissions ratings and wont fail any emissions test without it. all it actually does is restrict flow and removing it while adding the K&N will give you a tad better audio from the intake.
A bit late to the game but I have a question about Hybrid/Dual port BOVs. They not only vent to atmosphere but also recirculate. Would that be a better choice than a normal VTA BOV?
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Charge pipes do not require a tune they are after the Maf sensor.
What about a radiator shroud?
What about an intermediate pipe?
Hi there, i enjoy your videos and someday i might consider modifying.
I am from Oman (Muscat) and its really hot here specially in Summer, and I am a new owner of 22 WRX manual, and i am enjoying it sock. can you please make a video of people want to install mods without harm the factory warranty?
Thanks again
Fathi
Hey there Fathi! Thank you so much for the support. I am definitely going to put that video together for you. Stay tuned! 🤘
Would recommend a tune with an Sti badge swap. Easy 10/20 horsepower often over looked
This is the best advice I've seen so far. Thank you, internet king. 🤣🤘
Solid ass info. I love the bridging of games to cars haha tier lists FTW
I watch too many fighting game and Elden ring videos. They are always doing tier lists like everyday. 🤣🤣
@@HeavyMetalWRX you’re probably an old school tekken man
@@Flatline_WRX oh hell yea, Tekken 2, 3, 4 is what I played the most. Since high school though my game of choice has been Guilty Gear. I've been to a few tournaments and still play today.
@@HeavyMetalWRX King FTW

Nice this was helpful I got everything tuned on my car and close to FBO, But a leak I saw was/heard ETS made a turbo for the VB and I'm pretty sure it should be out soon.
Oh yes! I have been hearing g about it and today I finally saw the teaser image. Very exciting!
Hi, what are your thoughts on the boomba bov adapter for a stock wrx? I just got my 23 wrx and want the turbo whoosh. It wont be on for more than like 6 months and I was wondering if it would be harmful long term.
Hey there! My suggestion ( and the suggestion of many tuners ) don't do it. Even tunes it's not worth it. The intake will give you better whoosh noises and with a tune ira much safer.
@@HeavyMetalWRX thanks so much! I knew it wouldnt be a good choice and just wanted a more knowledgeable opinion.
Mishimoto just came out with a CAI that does not require a tune. They designed and tested it to make sure its safe.
I'll let you know if my car blows up 😂😂
Oh boy! Haha. I think you'll be fine because they are starting to scale em in a way that you can run on AFRs without a tune. You still don't get the massive benefit of power that Intakes give our engines. I hope you do plan on getting a tune later so you can experience the joy of the extra zoomies you get!
Yes, waiting for Cobb to add the CVT tune as I have the GT.
I just want the noises from my Perrin and I don't push my car at all.
Do you think that'll be safe for the engine without a tune?
What if I already got my 2022 WRX dyno tuned with a TMIC and decide to go FMIC, would I still need a tune? I was planning on installing the FMIC and going to Felix Performance or Andrew Autotech to get it dyno tuned afterwards. I just would rather save the money of installing it myself.
Yea it would be best to have it returned because you are changing the flow and pressure. You could run it without but there won't be a benefit /gain without a tune.
Now what about removing the charcoal filter and adding a drop in filter?
That doesn't do require a tune.
Thanks. I hear these engines are real finicky when you start messing with airflow, though this would be negligible. Read you can even pick up boost (.5-1 psi).
I would not recommend a BOV for any MAF car. Even with tuning, from what I have always heard from many tuners (and my own experience with Turbo MAF cars) is you cannot properly tune for a BOV with a MAF. The MAF always expects the air to return to its system. Without that you get a rich condition. Now, if the car does not use a MAF and only runs on a MAP(My VT and my FoST were like this, or you switch run to speed density). Go wild. I really wish Subaru would have just went MAP. But if people are looking for that sound, the Intake will give that sound.
What about a Hybrid BOV, like the TurboXS one? It vents to atmosphere and recirculates 🤔
@@paxpix08 You are still losing air that the system is accounting for. So unless you convert to a full MAP system, dont. You want the noises, just go with an intake(an tune obviously).
@@DarkWolfWRX sounds good. Thanks!
The new wrx you hear a difference. You should check it out
Really? I actually have 2 buddies here with stock WRX. Maybe I will have them buy it and record the difference! Thanks for letting me know.. 🤘
Would a intake void warranty if you don’t tune? I think that’s the main reason people are hesitant.
I mean technically nothing does but if something happens to your engine and they prove it was your intake they can deny warranty. The engine ECU will record everything that happens even if you remove an intake. So the chance is never 0% hah
I want to put a bov psssh sound in my wrx 22 but without tuning what do you recommend
Honestly nothing really will add that without proper tuning. Adding a bov will make the car run either rich or lean. Same with the intake. Tbh you could install a Perrin intake. It's the safest without tune but still not recommended to go racing or anything and it'll be give you induction sound and stuustustuu sound
@@HeavyMetalWRXthank you
what does a tune typically cost?
It really depends..you can get an etune for $200-300 but going to a Dyno will be more like $500ish.
What should people expect to pay for a tune? I bought a Perrin Intake and they claimed no need for tuning the car but I really don't want to chance that on 42k
They claim the inlet size and air flow is identical to stock
@@law22inoc yea also because it uses part of the stock intake tube. It's not bad at stock but of course you won't get any benefit from it either. Tunes can run you like $250-300 depending on what you're looking to get
@@HeavyMetalWRX Wouldn't you need to open all the sizes up to gain from this, you would have thought to gain from this you would need to get a higher sized turbo inlet as well to accommodate the larger air, seems to me like its a small gain without changing the entire interface out.
can the 2023 be tuned with an ap? i was told recently that it could not be tuned yet
At this time it cannot. Cobb is working on unlocking the ECU. It's just a matter of time.
@@HeavyMetalWRX I was about to purchase one and heard this. I'm used to sti power and was excited watching your videos of the tuning power. I'm wondering if I should wait until this ecu is figured out..... I can't find a reasonable price used 22 near me
@@traviswatson4986 oh wow really? I know many places are selling them for MSRP or under. Honestly I'd say if you really want one go ahead and get it. It'll give you time to run out some of the warranty and get cosmetics. The car is still fantastic to drive. If you really can't wait you can pick up a JB4 for super cheap on the used market ( I've seen some done to $200). So there are interim options.
Imagine buying a perrin intake for some woosh sound .... Now I need a tune and a AP there's 2500.... ☠️that's why I don't want a tune access ports are too much and the putting it on a dino. Too much
ehh not necessarily, ap is like 750 and you can get an etune from dmann for less than 600
FIRST 🤘🏿
100 points for House Burnett!!
@@HeavyMetalWRX all the fun stuff requires a tune 😭
intercooler does not need tune
This is why I said WANT. You can run without a tune but you are not getting any major benefits from the air volume change.
