  1. i had a cobb AP v1. You still have to do a drive cycle to get all the monitors ready. that doesn't change. i used the torque app / BT OBD2 reader to view the monitors to ensure i had properly completed the drive cycle. stopping the p0420 code should not affect the cat readies monitor from being ready once a drive cycle is complete.

     

    This. You could technically, if you wanted to, force readiness with open source software. But really you shouldn't need to.

  2. That is the most normal code that is disabled when going stage 2. Even the cobb stage 2 ots tune disables it. The code essentially means that the exhaust coming out of the cat is too hot(or something like that). Which if you're using a high flow cat, makes perfect sense since it doesnt work as well as the stock one.

     

    This is why people use a pair of spark plug anti-foulers to move the sensor out of the direct exhaust stream. Some downpipes come with a donger thing to effectively do the same thing.

  3. I haven't compared their designs, mostly because I have no idea what the stock one on our GT's look like but does anybody have an idea if the OEM Skid plate from a 15+ WRX would match up to our setup?

     

    I was under my new to me LGT for the first time yesterday and noticed the previous owner just went all raw dog and there sure were a lot of spots where it definitely hit the undercarriage and I don't want to take that chance even if it will probably be fine.

    (Was removing the Invidia N1 exhaust that made my ears bleed and custom fitting some Nameless mufflers)

     

    I already ordered https://www.carid.com/replace/front-center-engine-splash-shield-mpn-su1228105.html, but I want a piece of metal between the turbo and speed bumps.

    See FA20 Skidplate here:

    I mean I mostly don't want to pay 300+ shipping for a completely overkill (for my use) rally skidplate from Primitive if I have a decent OEM or cheaper solution available to me.

  4. Heyo!

     

    Male, about to be 35 next month.

    I have the most adorable 20 month old daughter and I'm a Solutions Engineer for Schneider Electric whom I've been with for 10 years now.

     

    I'm technically an old school Subaru member, I joined NASIOC in 2001 right when I could officially start to drive :D.

    I've had 4 Subarus, most notably a 2000 RSTi sedan that I had a hand in doing all the work in myself and took delivery of one of the first 2015 WRXs to come to this shore. The former I sold because I was tired of having such a highly modified car as well as driving around with so much worry about it.

     

    The latter, because I thought we needed something not as sporty and something my wife could drive. This was a huge mistake and I regretted having only 2 pedals. :lol:

     

    Either way, I just picked up this 2010 LGT 6 Speed

     

    It's got Swift Springs, Katskin Leather interior, Invidia TBE (I'm changing out the CBE because this makes my ears bleed). and some other small things.

    I'm going for an open source stage 2 tune in 2 weeks time and I'll having a build thread once I get started. But so far I've spent 5 consecutive nights in my garage :)

    Ignore my messy workbench! I'm currently reorganizing the garage.

  5. Just as a general question, I assume the GenV rom already exists in the DB as my tuner is confident that he can get my car stage 2 via open source no problem. But the existing rom doesn't have the same features available? Launch control, speed density, gear dependent boost?

     

    I'm just looking for clarification as to the complete advantage of this. At least at Stage 2 levels I don't think it matters as much but for the more advanced builds I assume so
