I go this TMIC for $50 with BOV all 03 WRX stock stuff I have a 91 GT. How the heck does this fit? Where do I put my clutch resevor? the IC is laying on top of it. Should I cut out that part of the IC rim. Is there another way?

By the fire wall there is a plastic resevoir I think it is for the clutch. After I hammered on the fire wall and got the IC in but on the drivers side the IC is setting right on this resevoir. Can ya smell what I'm steppin in.

Yes, it's the clutch fluid resevoir and it can't be moved (or at least it's not really feasible). We have hydralic clutches so our setups are a bit different then the N/A. The coolant tank that Jason mentioned usually needs reworked though too as he mentioned.
Now that being said I haven't done a WRX TMIC, I did the Saab 900 but my Saab intercooler sits on top of my resevoir and it doesn't hurt anything. It just makes it a bit of a pain if you have to check or replace your clutch fluid (brake fluid). If you do a search on WRX intercooler installs in this forum you may find an answer or at the very least it will show you some people who have done it and may be able to help you out with your questions.
Good luck and document EVERYTHING!

I'm sure you could figure out a way to relocate it somewhere.
I think I have Sunday off of work, so I'll start messing with getting the WRX IC in then and see how it goes.

Yeah I have searched the sight but no mention of the resevoir. I guess it is some thing I will just have to deal with. My radiator block is f#$ked so I am going to use a WRX coolant block it is alumiun and cheaper. I still need to find a MBC. Do you know where I get them for cheaper.

I'd get either a cheap Joe-P MBC (or make one yourself like a lot of guys do) or pay the extra $10 dollars and pick up a Hallman MBC. You can get a Hallman MBC for about $45. They are pretty nice controllers. If you pay a bit more you can get a Hallman that has an adjustment knob that you can run into the car so you can adjust the MBC on the fly. Pay a little more then that and you can get a Dual Stage MBC. Then you can have a street and race setting that you can switch back and forth between.
