All Dressed-up and no where to go!

[SDMotorworks]

Can I ask about the etune here? I have the APv3 but I don't have the Access Racer, do I need this? I thought I'd just be able to get an etune w/the platinum subscription, put it on the AP and then connect to car and flash, is this not the case? All I have is an AEM Intake and muffer deletes (don't think you have to tune for this)?

Cobb should have an OTS map for your setup, they had a AEM cold air intake OTS map for the 08-14 STI's so they should have one for your car also.

I'm at work right now, I've got nothing but time. Like I said, I'm still mulling over things, but I think an OTS w/stock intake may be the easiest route?

Not yet, so far.

yea reading over the notes for the different maps for the 2015 they specifically say that only the Cobb SF intake/air box is to be used with those map. The reasoning for this is that they have to account for MAF scaling which can adversely affect your tune and how smooth your car is. Think of it like this the AEM intake sucks in 8% more or less air than the intake/air box designed for the tune then the ECU has to adjust for that 8% and may or may not get it right.
Anyways, looks like best fit may be to get a e-tune for your car, and eventually a pro-tune. As far as Access tuner goes you do not need this to flash/log, you only need this to make changes to a rom file.

I'm leaning towards getting a stock airbox

Wow, cost about the same as an aftermarket CAI?

 

[Raven32]

if you go all new yes, however if you check around on eBay, craigslist, Facebook subaruparts, etc., you should be able to find a few for sale from people that have moved on to other intakes. Posted these part numbers more or less incase you find something that is missing a peace or two.

Not sure if the old platinum membership still stands, but it used to be $69 anually. This also included Amsoil products at cost!
@IGOTASTi Is anyone else still paying anually besides me?

I'm still one of those people! Debating on switching only if that next hoodie is a good one lol! Haven't really taken advantage of the Amsoil all too much but one time so far, was really great stuff when I used it though.

Your best bet is NASIOC for a used one. I've seen them go for around $50.

He's looking for a stock intake.

Use the search feature in the Engine/Power section. Doesn't look like any 15+ have been posted up. Do a quick search and check if the VA intake is the same as the GR/GV. I
