Marylanders R calling You OUT!
Steve you got some nice stuff there!
I just installed another intercooler on sunday, lol.
heres a pic
BIGGEST PAIN IN DA ASS EVER. Thats an 08 wrx getting a front mount. It was a cheap kit but the Intercooler was Money. Charging piping worked out ok but the new crash bar didnt line up with the intercooler mounts.... the mounts under the intercooler were even worse..... so much fabrication needed, it wasnt funny.... but we got it on in 10hrs. lol.
I dont think I will swap a wrx tmic to a fmic any time soon. The stock IC was ~238cu.in. and this one is ~850cu.in. lol. Talk about drop in boost .... It used to make 17.5psi and now it only makes 15psi but same power. fast. The stock Td04 is the next thing getting replaced, he asked for my help with that one and im not sure I can do it.

the front mount on the wrx will shave time off his 1/4 mile but that install doesn't look fun i remember it took about the same time to put one on my friends mazdaspeed
but as far as the clutch it took some getting use to i am finally getting the hang of it now that i have be driving constantly all weekend ( i wanted to break it in fast lol) it grabs really hard 1-3 4&5 are ok i did a pull and a launch last night and i liked it and after driving on a slipping one you can feel the difference night and day
but steve's friend at work installed it for me
