I just put a tune on my car, stage 1+ SF 93, and took it out for a test drive. Everything was good and I let it sit for the night. I come back and the Cobb tuner fell off of the dash that I had the mount stuck to, in which broke the connector, but I’m currently working on salvaging the pieces out. I took it out for a test drive without the Cobb or cord plugged in, and when I started accelerating, the windshield wipers wiped one time, the parking brake light flashed and the abs light came on. Additionally l, the speedometer went to zero and then back to my speed. It was very finicky when I was going 35-40 and just holding a little bit of gas to keep speed up a hill, but would work fine when at higher rpm’s. It’s such a specific issue, I had no idea where to start looking. Could the Cobb be the issue? I also noticed that some of my gauges weren’t working. Boost for sure, only displaying -0.1/0.0 psi

Got it. Thanks.

$100 +shipping sounds good. My zip code is 53403. How should we go about payment? Would PayPal be good?

Awesome. How much would you want for them? And they work as far as you know, correct?

Got it. That’s what I will do.

I see now. So it was a theory that didn’t necessarily prove to be true, or effective enough for most cases, and was just a common thing people did due to the theory of making more hp, and freeing up that space. Thanks for all the help. I see my options now are: finding an oem tgv set, finding an OS Tuner, getting a stand alone ecu (expensive though), or doing a top feed conversion. And that I would need all O2 components to pass emissions.

Got it. I am in the US, so were you saying there are a not a lot of OS tuning places left that deal with Subarus, correct? I saw some top feed conversions, but those were expensive as well from what I was seeing, and I would need the tune on top of that. Other than extra hp and space if you really need it for a larger turbo, is there any other reason for a TGV delete. It seems somewhat common but also seems to cause more problems than it fixes. Also, I have two wires connecting to the backside bracket on my TGV’s. Is that a bypass for the sensors, or is that stock?

Awesome, thank you.

That’s awesome. They have the sensors, motors, and flaps correct? And how much would you be looking for? That is if you have them.

The guy got back to me and said he did not have any or was willing to sell the TGV’s alone. Would another option be to just tune it at a good tuning shop? I emailed one Cobb pro certified tuning shop near me and they said I would need to reinstall the TGV’s because it wouldn’t meet the emissions guidelines, even though I have the papers showing that it passed emissions, and he said the codes can’t be bypassed. Would he not be able to do it because he uses Cobb? And if so should I look at a tuning place that doesn’t use Cobb?

I returned the top feed ones as they wont work, but taking a closer look at the Forester XT ones you linked to, it looks like the port is still for top feed. I see some of the side feed short, stubby injector ports on some others, and I'm just trying to make sure 100% before I buy another set.

Alright. Thanks so much man.

I see now. So I have side feed injectors but the tgv I got is top feed, like for the black injectors. And are the ones you sent a link for side feed then?

I don’t have the tune that was used for the tgv’s. From what I’ve seen on the ecu history it was all Cobb tunes

The guy who I bought the car from said he had a stage 1 tune on the car but took it off for selling purposes. If I were to get the side feed, wouldn’t I also need to get new fuel lines to connect to the injectors?
