OK I'm back in London so I was able to re-post all the pictures. Some are on page 1 and some are on page 3.
I obviously can't fix the broken links in vrg3's and BAC5.2's posts, but at least my whole writeup is in one piece again.

I cut my stock y-pipe after the ridges sith enought left to fit enough hose to fit in an exhuast pipe reducer to use to connect the hose to the turbo. the ypipe to exhaust piping hose was just a random rad. hose NAPA had that was big enough to fit over the ypipe. The site is down other wise id post a pic of the hose.
Yeah putting the ac under the pitchstop worked great
if anyone can interpret the red, that would be sweet.

on the mandrel bent pipe, what was the inner/ outer diameter?rallysam wrote:Update: Now with less ghetto! (but still a little)
Much thanks to gearboxtech.com (the shop Phil works at) because they
came up with most of this.
1) Completely kink-free intercooler piping from the stock turbo to the WRX intercooler. Woo hoo! Now it doesn't whistle like crazy anymore!
* 1 blue, silicone TurboXS 90 degree elbow coming off the turbo outlet (45mm diameter I think).
* 1 red Samco silicone y-pipe for WRX connecting to the intercooler ducts. Note - Cut off the bend that went to the WRX turbo if you are using the stock turbo.
* 1 metal pipe, mandrel-bent, 45 degrees
* for extra ghetto look, be sure to avoid matching your colors.
2) Oil catch can mounted to the fire wall. Aside from the normal benefits, I think my shop did it so they could get all the PCV lines out of the way so they could run the intercooler pipes the way they wanted to.
3) Coolant tank: started leaking. Replaced with a WRX tank and relocated it as described in this thread:
http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... 332#151332
Here's a pic:
4) BOV adaptor: replaced Vikash's homemade plumbing adaptor with a TurboXS flange and 90 degree elbow. Note - if you want to keep the stock BOV - this elbow worked great. i just ran a hose from the elbow to the stock BOV. But, I eventually threw on a TurboVS recirc. valve:
5) A silicone sheet under the intercooler to stop it from banging around and wearing away as described in this thread:
http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=24497
and bump 10x i need this info stat!

dont start the install until you have all ALL the parts you need.
you dont have to relocate the coolant tank however. just so you know..
depends if you are doing TMIC FMIC or AWIC..
07/07 wrx TIMC is the easiest

I just want an air TMIC, im not doing it too much foor performance just because i f"ed my charge pipe and nothing will fit onto that fuckin TD04, so i want an 07 then, anyone got one for me over here in Canada, And i did start the install before all the parts i needed and yes my car is now sitting without an intake, everything is done it just needs a dammed tube from the turbo to the throttle body.

Would that one work well, also what are all those lines on it, just for extensions?

ya that one would work perfect.
by "tube from turbo to throttle body" you mean you need a intercooler right?
you've got a td04 so it will go right on

all our cars are ghetto. they are old.
and if you are using the td04/that turbo you have, then the stock 06/07 Y pipe should work and you should fit right in there.
the Y that comes on the 06/07 wrx tmic is bent at the end.

ya see the end of the Y in this shot?
bottom left side corner?
it should fit right onto your turbo.
if it doesn't you're going to have to fab-up some silicon/mandrel bent pipe somehow.
i think it should though

ya no probs,
it all depends on what turbo you have for the most part.
if you had a vf11 like me, then you would need a mandrel bent 45* pipe and a 90* silicon hose.
lil' different but still the same idea.
you sir are golden post up some shots when you get it in

ya i know you have a TD04.,
i've got a vf11. you dont need to buy xtra stuff b/c of that turbo you have.
the intake outlet is angled differently
if you've got everything lined up and prepared it should take an hour and a half tops.
dont forget to tuck the "dog bone" underneath...the transmission..securing...thing.
i dont know what its called but you know what i mean

The 'dog bone' he's talking about is the metal A/C pipe. You'll see it. It's right by the firewall.
You need to take out your pitch rod (it's the stiff plastic rod that connects your engine to the firewall) and put the A/C line under that. It's easy to do. Then you'll also need to move your igniter. That's the small sensor on the bracket that you referred to.
And the 'Form a Gasket?' Are you talking about your turbo to downpipe goo? Hahaha. If so, then yes it'll work fine. I have the same thing on mine.

ok here's the dirty:
i was lookin at your pics and do you even have an AC line?
if not don't worry about tucking the bone
and ou will also need to move your ignition wires...
here's a pic of my setup.
you can kind of see my ingition wire mount above my intercooler tword the right top corner of it.

12 is the most you can boost at without a fuel cut defender. After that, if you have the exhaust done, intercooler and preferably new Walbro 255 fuel pump you can boost to 14 psi with the stock injectors. No more though, as you'll begin to run lean and create more knock.
