Anything you do is going to require a reasonable amount of modification and cutting. There's really no way around it...

no 02or newer WRX kit will bolt up, I've bought 2 ebay generic pipe kits and a CXracing intercooler and still had to revise my setup 3 times and have 3 pipes welded for the set up i have now, and its still tight at the RH cyl. head.

the set up for the compressor outlet is a combination of high temp nylon fittings ment for marine aplication and flexible marine exhaust tubing. been using it for close to 10,000 miles of mostly freeway no problems but cheep, i should have known better than to use, tube connectors

i picked up a greddy kit from a forum member a year and a half ago and it fits ok... it's for a wrx and i also had to extend some piping by my driver's side head.

So is this a combination of a few kits plus custom work? Or is there a kit that is available that is close to this? I like the setup of the piping on this one.subytech wrote:

That setup in the pic above seems more "reliable" to me, I had a theory (Not proven) that the less restrictions for air flow, the better.....
Here's mine before my TD04 Install, it flows towards the passanger side first... I am eventually going to fix it some how.

A few kits that looked like they had the bends I wanted not sure if they were subaru specific i just looked at the pics and found the bends that looked good. I also had some custom welding done up near the throttle body and the turbo to get the bends just right, I like straight running pipes, not akward looking connections and kinked hoses, but then I'm OCD so they tell meimpreza_GC8 wrote:So is this a combination of a few kits plus custom work?

My FMIC is at the bottom of this link with a slight description http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... art=25[url]
I would like shorter piping and a more direct route but this was a fairly easy install(if there is such a thing as a easy FMIC install). As far as lag goes, not really noticeable. My TD05 hits 0psi at about 2600 -2700rpm and 16psi at like 3300rpm with 2.5'' exhaust. With my 3'' cutout open, What lag? 0psi seems to be at like 2400-2500rpm and 16psi seems about 3100rpm, this is just me glancing back and forth between the gauges so I need to datalog this to be more accurate.[/url]
