Just wondering if there's any go-to subaru etuners in particular that you guys recommend?
Stock engine, stock turbo, sti injectors, aem 340lph, sti catless uppipe, cobb intake and invidia catless downpipe. I drive pretty civil but I really should get it tuned, I've been putting it off really bad. Running cobb stage 2 map, my mpg is complete shit.

On the timing belt topic, how many miles are on your car? When did you buy it?
How long/how many miles did the prior owner have the car for?
219km's, I was free yesterday so I swung by my mechanic's and we checked the timing belt, it was pretty cracked, so I'm changing it Monday.

Thats not a timing belt.
Replace
Well that's embarassing, thanks anyways I'll replace em

Hey all, how's it going? What do y'all think of this timing belt condition? Should I replace for the peace of mind or waste of money? I'm probably only gonna drive this car for one more winter after this one so not sure if I just keep it and hope it doesn't snap. Previous owner doesn't know when it was last replaced. Sorry for the kinda shitty pictures, focus was going crazy.
Thanks anyways, cheers

The stock intake will cause fewer issues such as boost creep when dealing with a relatively unmodified car like yours. I’d keep the stock one in for now. As for tuning, the Cobb OTS tunes are for Cobb’s parts, so I would recommend getting the car tuned properly by a professional instead as you aren’t using their downpipe, etc. Where are you located? Lots here can give you some insight as to who should tune your car in your area.
Yeah I think I'm just gonna put the stock intake back in and run it with the regular stage 2 tune for now.
I'm located in Toronto, Ontario so kinda far out from you guys.

Thanks for the response guys. Yeah I still have the stock exhaust but used the grimmspeed adapter to hook it up to the dp. Wasn't sure what stage to flash it to so I did stage 1 just incase, will put it on stage 2.
Yeah it's the maps that use the cobb sf intake. I've heard people using that map get wacky afr's and worse mileage, so I was curious if anyone's experience anything like that. My afr's have been pretty accurate though.

Hey guys, how's it going?
Recently picked up my LGT. Got an invidia catless dp, sti uppipe, and cobb intake on it so far.
Just wanted to drop a quick question about the cobb maps. Do you guys run your regular stage map or the SF map?
Currently running the stage 1 + sf map but I've heard mixed things about the SF maps. Might switch to the regular stage 1 map.
Best etuner?
