  1. Did anyone notice a leak coming from the pump (or the hose itself) prior to replacing their o-ring? I have an accumulation of some kind of fluid, either engine oil or PS fluid that is on my pump and collecting on the timing belt cover, so I'm not certain where it's originating from. AFAIK, the pump is original with 123k miles on it, so I'm going to replace the O-ring anyways, but I'm curious to see if this is a common issue with leakage.
  2. The PLA is pretty strong. Depending on the design and amount of fill internally. It is plenty strong for everything we have designed so far. I wouldn't call it "structural" but i don't have any hard numbers on strength.

     

    Well I was thinking would it be strong enough to be used as brackets for under the hood stuff like a catch can or wire/fluid line mounts?

  3. I jumped on the 68hta bandwagon when Forced Performance had their Christmas sale but I haven't installed it yet because their compressor housing is an STI style one. I bought RacerXs FMIC but ended up not liking pipes all over my engine bay so I'm just waiting for this TMIC. I could get the PW one with the STI hose but without a shroud Im not going to get it.

     

    Im going to stick with 93 octane but I am thinking of redoing my fuel setup from ID 850cc sidefeeds to their top feed conversion with 1000cc injectors. I'm pretty sure I will come close to my 300hp goal. I don't drive my car much so E85 is out of the question

  4. I think the GS unit will likely be the full width of the splitter, meaning that the whole section in the red box above will be directly over the IC. You can only do so much with the space available.

     

    I'm really excited to see what GS comes up with and what results people can get out of it, but at the end of the day I'm concerned with how small our actual hood scoop is compared to the STI/WRX. It seems like that's the ultimate limiting factor.

     

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. Perhaps there needs to be a side by side comparison between IAT's between the LGT and the WRX to see if there's a difference?

     

    The only thing I can think why Subaru would make such a tiny scoop on the LGT is that for some reason, the LGT's hood is more aerodynamic than the WRX and doesn't require a bigger scoop to get more airflow? Like maybe it's just more laminar and not turbulent like the WRX? (Only guessing).

  5. That was my point, and why they are designing the 08+WRX/LGT fitment, because it is different from the STI manifold.

     

    I must have missed where it said the STI version was also in development. Yes, the 08+WRX/LGT has the same manifold. I still have the LGT manifold. I do not however have a turbo with a flange like the LGT/WRX. Mine shoots out to the side, like the STI, but requires an extra hose that Process West sells ($98 or so at Rallysport).

     

    Since the PW TMIC is no longer offered in the US, this TMIC is pretty much my only feasible option, unless I do decide to go with an air/water intercooler setup, which I am still not completely sold on.
