If test-fitting the intercooler fixed your problem, you probably had a small leak at one of the intake fittings. Were any of the clamps a little too easy to loosen or anything?

Possibly. I had removed the test fit intercooler setup and just reinstalled it to get the car out of the garage before leaving for school. I must have just tightened down the clamps a bit better this time. But it seems to be fine, so I'm stoked.

I kind of want to paint the IC->TB hose black so it looks a bit more factory. I think with the new pipe (which is sandblasted for a uniform look) the whole setup will look like it was meant to be that way.

What does everyone think of how it's coming so far?

I'm jealous, but I like the way it's coming along

all you need next is to register the damn thing

Jealous? Of what?

Yea, yea yea, bike is back on e-bay. Hopefully it'll sell. If it doesn't, I am going to be SO pissed.

Looks good Phil! I like it a lot.

Mine doesn't rest on the nipples it just puts pressure on the hoses. I also don't have it mounted with a bracket or anything either, so with the amazing amount of torque that Subarina's laying down it tends to move around a little. I would recommend trying to mount it to the firewall.

Yea, I was thinking about making a mount out of the Ignitor mount so I could keep the ignitor mounted to metal and support the IC.

I think I will just end up fabbing something up this weekend when it all goes together and I know how it will actually sit.

Hitting a quick rev with the hood open, I realized how much the engine rocks side to side. I really need some STi engine mounts to keep that torque monster at bay.
