Ok I'm getting a td04 hopefully I'll get it in this week. But ok I know I need the 90 degree turn for the front of the turbo( sorry don't know to much about turbos.) and I found these elbows name brand is black works, will any of the 3 90 degree elbows work on http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru/19 ... ks_racing/ here? If so has anyone run these before? Do they work good? Also I had a 94 legacy if that helps any.
Thanks!

You will likely need a short radius elbow to clear the intake manifold. Hopefully someone else can chime in with any direct experience on those elbows.

As noted above you'll want a short radius/tight turn like this.:


Those in your link will work but may rub the intake manifold.

Remember, the stock VF11 has a 'clocked' outlet to the throttle body....you'll have to account for that.

You have a fair amount of extra plumbing ahead of you, so Please read as many of posts of the TD04 - TMIC installs on here as you can....you don't have to have a TMIC but w/the TD04 it's a good idea.

Ok I already have a tmic. On my stock turbo. So will I need to change anything going to that? Or just that 90 degree elbow?

Sorry about all these questions. I'm new to turbos subaru's and cars. So I just wanna know as much as possible before I start swapping in my td04.

I'd again suggest you do some Searching and reading up on here....you WILL run into something you didn't expect...best to be warned and ready.

Do you know what I mean by the VF11 being 'clocked', if not please read up on that too...it'll affect how the TMIC connects.

I'm definitely just gonna have to get to a computer and search. I'm on my iPod so it's a lil tough. And no I dont know what you mean... Unfortunately.

Yea... must get a computer.

TD05 vs VF11.

So what I need to do is change the plumbing to the tmic and that front piece of the turbo correct? What if I got a y pipe from a newer wrx with the td04 and installed it on my car would that work?

Yes, you'll have to get a 02-05 WRX y-pipe. Please search as many have documented their TMIC installs and parts used (including me).

I have one already um just pretty sure it has has been cut since it was put on my vf11 a previous owner put the tmic on.

so i finally got on a actual computer and now i fully understand what you mean about clocked and where the elbow goes and everything. so what size diameter do i need to get like will this one work? http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_ ... ff6f0efe9b im on a tight budget. and i cant see spending 65 or whatever it is if i can find something just as good for cheaper. but if i cant then i guess ill have to fork up the money...

Ebay has these cheaper...I believe you'll need 2"...but Search here or on other sites for sure.

aliright ill def have to make sure i get the right size. thanks for pointing that out idk why but for some reason 2 1/4 was just sticking out in my head.

I hav another question the coolant lines and I think oil lines have washers. Off the td04 are they copper or brass? If copper where can I get them?

+1 on siliconeintakes.com they rock for everything silicone. I used the one you have pictured for the intake side of the turbo and one of thier 2 inch ones for the other 90 (for the air leaving the compressor side that goes to the y pipe). The y pipe i used was made from OBX, i got it off someone on nasioc for 20 bucks.





Yeah they both have copper washers on both sides of the banjo bolt. Since the td04 i got didnt have any of these lines i just used the ones that came off the vf11 which also has these washers and swapped over the whole line. Coolant and oil.

Yeah I got a kit on eBay with everything. It was a really nice kit. And yeah siliconeintakes.com is a great stuff. I got the plastic ypipe on mine still. I wish silicone intakes would sell the y pipes. I'd buy it for sure.
