2005-2009 Legacy FMIC options??

Post by KENC »

Hi guys, im an Impreza guy myself, so appolgies if this is in wrong section or anything :)

A mate of mine is looking for a FMIC kit for his lovely Black Leggy, beleive the 2005 - 2009 model is his, have seen some nice kit from Perrin, but its a bit pricey at 1200 dollars.
He wants a kit that is easy fit, requires the least amount of hacking and cutting,, as he wants to keep the stealth and oem look.
Reason for the need of better I/C is he is fitting i think a VF 46 turbo
Any recomendations or pointers would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Ken

might wanna check out legacygt.com.

i have a fmic, but i have a rotated intake manifold.

search the vendors on LGT and see what suites your needs. you dont need a fmic with a vf46.

also, used parts never hurt. especially on the pockets.

Think he is hoping for up and around 340-360bhp. Andhe has been told that the standard Plastic tank TMIC isnt up for much.
Out of interest is it possible to fit Newage Sti impreza TMIC? i know he said throttle body is different so i was wondering would fitting a newage STI impreza inlet mani with tumbler deletes and using the STI tmic be an option??

I'd second checking out www.legacygt.com/forums That's going to be your best resource for that generation legacy.
