I did actually, did you?

There were no real conclusive answers to it, sure the compressor outlet is different but thats a problem we deal with even for the Process West one, but its not a major. There didn't seem to be any testing or measuring of whether it would foul on the master cylinder or just miss it

That wasn't meant to be a smartass "SEARCH THE THREAD" answer... I just remembered seeing someone trying it out (And yes... since you asked, I've been part of this thread since the start and read every post at some point a few months ago when it started... which is why I was trying to be helpful to let you know that it might be in here if you hadn't already looked.), and didn't have time to find it for you. Sorry if you misinterpreted my tone.

My suggestion would be if you can find the person who did try it that you PM them to get more info.

Don't suppose there has been any fitment testing done to test whether they are compatible with the RHD Legacy's

I think someone tested this if you read through or search this thread.

Anyone running the 8mm Phenolic spacers with this TMIC??

 

My car is apart right now but I don't think there are clearance issues between the intake runners and the big top mount.

Doobarugt is running then on his car, I believe.

I am so depressed they haven't designed a splitter compatible with the OBXT yet. Does anyone have word if they ever will?

IIRC, there are a handful of guys running these on the OBXT.

Progress!

 

 

The plan:

Get the Silver Eagle fired up Thursday. Take it to Portland Int'l Raceway Friday AM and start the break in process at the Test & Tune session.

1st Session, Waste-gate boost only. No full WOT.

Change Oil + Filter

Send datalogs to Cobb Surgeline. They will review for problems.

 

2nd session, if all clear on the data go back out with small boost and varied throttle.

Send datalogs to Cobb Surgeline. They will review logs.

 

3rd+ Rinse and Repeat until end of day at full race boost and wot.

Change oil.

 

Race Saturday and Sunday!

 

Big Thanks to Cobb Surgeline for stepping up to make this possible! And many more thanks to Subaru of Bend!!

Looks like you swapped to top feeds... just curious - did you use top feed TGV deletes, or go with a conversion kit like ID sells?

I helped a friend do the TGV swap to go top feed, and that came out really clean, but the ID conversion seems a lot easier.

Any tune results yet?

I wasn't dyno tuned, I was etuned, and the IC is definitely more efficient. I am on the stock turbo. It's doing really well and my power down low is awesome, but my turbo and wastegate met it's match with the IC. My tuner was only able to push the boost to 17.5 psi because of the decrease in pressure and larger volume of the IC. That said, this could change slightly based on your wastegate since our arm isn't adjustable, and depending on your temperature. It's been pretty cold here in PA during my tune.

All but done with my tune from Dave... just have to send over some logs for him to check up on things after a little mileage has passed. My experience has been very positive, and I'm very hopeful to stick with Dave for tuning my wagon as I tack on more parts. Currently at a "stage 2" setup with a catted downpipe, catless uppipe, and Grimmspeed TMIC. Dave did a great job very safely and carefully tuning the car. It feels much stronger over the Cobb OTS stage 2 map that I was previously running, especially in the low-mid range. I've also noticed a bump in my gas mileage, especially just as boost is kicking in where I could tell I the OTS map was rich.

Now I just need to get a turbo that can keep up with the efficiency and size of this TMIC and get some more power under the hood.

Thanks, Dave!

I have an 06 LGT 5EAT, and I have these two wires connected to the front metal bracket as well. I installed the GS bracket over top of the oem bracket but now the Throttle body hose is difficult to wrap. What did you end up doing to get it to fit?

You have to remove the old bracket and remove the clips from it. Otherwise the splitter won't line up right.

The bracket is there, but nothing attached to it on mine. I'm guessing you have an automatic.

I had wire harnesses attached to mine and it's a manual. I'm guessing it's an 05-06 thing.

you can also just put the bracket on top and not have to grind anything. but I get it, grinders are fun.

For what it's worth, I didn't have to grind mine to flatten it. It's fairly soft.

But... Your suggestion works a whole lot better. Lol.

I had no issues with the AC line bracket. I wonder if the 05's are different.

I had the same lip on my 05, but I just flattened it. It really wasn't a big deal. If you want to leave it intact, a washer under the bracket would allow that.

Those img links dont work.

Thanks... harder to link to files in my google drive than I thought.

Anyone gonna post up detailed installed pictures?

 

Gotta live vicariously through those with expendable income.

 

Here are a few more in addition to what I put up earlier.

Slightly larger than stock...

 

There is no TMIC mount on the firewall as far as I know, which is why I'm confused as to why this is a talking point.

There is if you watch the video.

Just above the pitch stop, which is why I referenced that.

The pitch stop is the same, but all that confirms is that the distance between the two mounting points is the same. There is still a difference in the position of the motor/trans relative to the firewall.

I thought someone mentioned that it would change the angle of the tilt... I was just thinking that if the pitch stop is the same, that means it keeps the same position relative to the engine. As for what that means in terms of what will get in the way on the firewall, I have no idea, as I don't have an OBXT. Just trying to help with what I thought of.

Who said that? GS clearly appears to be supporting the LGT platform.

 

That install video and the rear mounting setup is the first thing that has made be me really start to think that the TMIC may not fit on an OBXT. If the whole core gets pushed lower in the engine bay compared to the firewall it looks like it's simply going to starting making contact with parts that simply can't be moved.

I was thinking this as I was watching, but isn't the pitch stop the same on both cars? So perhaps the pitch stop mount is located in a lower place on the OBXT?

If Sargent Gator doesn't take em I might

Let me know if you're interested.

I need to move into a field of work where I can do this with my wagon. Or hit the powerball.

Just needs cross bars and skis!

I have a set of factory cross bars and ski racks made by Mont Blanc that came with my 05 wagon. Not using them since I had a Thule setup already. If you ate willing to pick up shipping from PA I'll be glad to part with them for a very good deal.
