hi everyone,
did a bit of searching and didnt come up with any thing so here goes.
i've been looking for a 06-07 wrx tmic locally but no luck so far.
i got a reply today on my local forum with a 08 forester tmic.
looks like the 06-07 tmic but not sure.
so just wondering if any one know's if it like the 06-07 wrx tmic.
thanks,
GTwagon
car it's going into is a 94 legacy GT wagon.
here's a link to the tmic on the forester.

I forget what is different, but it can work, it's what I have, haven't installed it yet though. IIRC it was just some minor difference.

According to this, the Forrester and 06-07 are the same

EDIT: DEPENDS ON THE YEAR - '06-08 Forester TMIC are same as '06-07....don't use '04-'05.

See THIS.


No offense, but they aren't.....here's a POST that shows the difference.

The BPV and their mounts are different. The Forester will likely hit the throttle cables.

DON'T GET THE FXT INTERCOOLER, unless you're getting some sort of adapter to just run the stock turbo leggy bpv. The fxt bpv bumps right into your throttle and doens't fit.
