Hey men, nice video! I’m from Brazil and i just bought a Bm3 for my bmw equipped with a N20 engine, you helped me to understand about these OT maps…

Haven’t watched the video but factory tunes are all OTS.. meant to work across all regions & elevations and everyone assumes factory tunes are bulletproof and perfectly safe

Thanks for the video it calmed my nervous. My car is stock and i have it on stage 1 cobb ots for 2 years now. Dam has only dropped once and i get the occasional cruising 1.41 and een rarer 2.8 knock and learn which even cobb say is completely normal. When reading about ots on reddit and forums i thought i was killing my car.

Blessed to have people like you in the community!

I ran a stage 2 cobb OTS tune on my 02 for well over a decade and never had 1 engine related issue at all.

I been running a cobb ots 1+ for 72k miles I currently have 87k miles on my 2017 sti. No issues. Runs beautifully

I'm coming from the Mustang world and never heard the term "Protune" used, we just call them Custom tunes. I bought a 2021 wrx new for a daily since my Mustang has become to thirsty for a daily. I ran stock tune for the first 30k then decided to try a OTS tune because these cars fall flat in the 4K rpm range and its a bummer. Being new to Subaru and hearing how "fragile" the engines are had me a bit uneasy about tuning or modding this car. Doing more research on them I've come to the conclusion that a lot has to do with maintenance and who tunes the car. I feel that a lot of the issues with these cars is so many are owned by young drivers and they don't take care of them like someone with performance car experience. So I bought the Cobb Accessport and put the stage1 93 OTS map on and it's been good. It's superior to the stock tune and should have done it sooner. Now I have a few parts to install and bought a Dmann custom tune, so that will happen in a couple weeks. I think this video is really good information in a world with an excess of bad information.

Thank you!! I get so sick of the forums with all of the illiterate comments. Great content!

You said it brother. Essentially, every car comes with a 91 octane OTS map from the factory (they have to be distributed anywhere in the country). Chill out kids.

Great advice

As an owner of a WRX premium with 27k miles. Your E30 OTS tune with burble for my AFe power intake and Garrett tmic, paired with my HKS dual chamber resonator with twin Genome mufflers is awesome. The sound is refined and the throttle is very linear and give me a chance to practice heel and toe. The 3rd to 2nd gear downshift announces my arrival very nicely per the taco truck guys. Yes the Colin McRae does come out on occasion. Mpg not bad. 19 city and 25-27 hwy. Cant wait for next stage of bolt ons

Killing it man. Spot on. Great video and information. I really enjoyed watching it. The content was well-researched and presented in a clear and concise manner. The visuals were also engaging and helped to enhance my understanding of the topic. Overall, it was a fantastic video that provided valuable information.

Hey man I just got my AP and I’m in Michigan too! I’m getting the OTS tune from you soon just for the review ability! Thank you for offering that!

Bought the COBB for my ‘22 WRX from you and it runs beautifully!!

Thanks for the information, new to the channel , what I’m thinking of doing is going from stock to buying COBB stage 2 package, having it all professionally installed and tuned . This car is a semi daily , storage during winter months .. want little more power and fun . Not sending it to the moon … my luck is lose my license with my current heavy foot ! 😂

I love my pro tune on my subbie from you! ❤❤❤

When is an AOS necessary? I'm thinking about doing a Cobb SF intake and a tune (either COBB OTS or etune).

I have a brand new 23 WRX, not even broke in yet at 400 miles. Eventually after I put many miles on this thing and prove it's not a dud I may tune it. In the mean time I did want to open up the sound a bit so I ordered an ETS catback and just a cobb drop in filter. I don't need a tune for those parts right? In terms of reliability/safety.

So do you do E tunes?

OTS tunes should be safe, but they aren't always. When the FA20 WRX came out the early OTS maps actually caused LSPI for many.

Next year when I get my R35, I will be sending you guys my car to have it tune to 1000 WHP.

No am yes simple answer haha
