Guys, what do you all think about the new Garrett T25-550 Turbo. It's small and has a wide power range. I'm thinking of getting one for my BM9 legacy. I know, there will be a lot of fabrication to be done...but I believe it should work great in the car.
What's your thoughts???

not without a lot of work. https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fa-headers-unicorn-280391.html
basically, the vf54 has a different flange and core than the others, so unless you're swapping in a lot of stuff, you can't just bolt on a wrx turbo. there's a company in russia that makes a header that you can use different turbos with, or you can have a shop build out a custom header, but there's no other stock turbos that are plug and play.
tomioka also makes a vf54 hybrid, and bnr supercars makes a couple hybrids that you can use as well...in fact FabSX has one for sale in the classifieds right now.
Thanks for the headsup...can you kindly inform me of what WRX Turbo fits on the BM9???

Hey guys...have anyone tried or wondered if the TOMIOKA RACING GTX2971 HYBRID BALL BEARING TURBO FOR SUBARU WRX 2015+ FA20 can work on the BM / BR legacy.

Bro can you tell me, where did you get the Headlights and the LED next to the Fog lights???

Pretty much stock at this moment. Exhaust needs to be done...Turbo & headers to be purchase along with a meth kit.
-
I believe you may be right...however nothing is broken...but the same said arm needs to be replaced...and i can't seem to find out where i can order this arm.
Pal...thanks a mill for the assistance. I was busting my brains looking for this part...and it seems like only the Euro Spec of the BM9's got this.
-
So. I found it on a current Gen WRX, I can't find it on the legacy since I don't think we ever got HID's here.

I can't say for sure that it is the same, but I do know the control arm is the same part number.
Ohhh and yes the car came with a stock HID kit.
-
It looks like thats your headlight adjuster arm thingy.
Do you have HID headlights? That came stock? This arm adjusts how high your headlights are aiming depending on how much weight is in the back of the car.
Can you circle the part that is broken?

Hey guys...i need some help in locating this small arm located on my Rear Left suspension. This arm is connected to a plate...which has a sensor and a cable or a harness connected to same. I am not sure what it is for...but I'm getting some vibration from it and as such i would like to replace the arm. Any idea on where i can get the arm as on the attachment.

Looking fresh bro...I wish I had a sunroof in mines.

This is what I did with my charge pipe...
[ATTACH]284623[/ATTACH]
I had to shave down the plastic on the fan guard a bit to get it to fit and it's tight, but it works fine. I have been running it about 5,000miles with no issues. I'm pushing 20lbs of boost right now and going to be filling up with E85 this weekend and I'm thinking we will be turning up the boost a little bit more.
I hope the stock plastic flange holds up!What are the benefits to the vert cooler over the stock TMIC?
So in other words...I was only able to use 2 silicone hoses from the Turbo to the Intercooler inlet.

OK...I like your constructive mindset. I'm not home at the moment to send you guys a picture of my charge pipe directly off the turbo...but because I have had purchase the Verticooler kit...we were able to use the New flange from the kit to bolt on to the stock turbo and in addition use a piping from the kit...both was welded and from the I used the silicone hose to connect the top piping towards the Intercooler and then another to finally connect the piping to the intercooler inlet.

If you guys wish and you do have an Facebook account...you can look for Teddy's Welding and Fabrication Services and you will see some before and after pictures of the intercooler job. Also you'll see how nice she's sitting on the BC's coilovers.
-
I would have love to upload a video of how the TMIC fits...but i'm not sure if the site can accommodate videos. Actually the fitment is good with lots of room.
-
Info in your chargepipe....
Is that custom or vendor brand,...
Nice verticooler.
I read you just need 2 of the perrin intercooler to intake couplers to get it to fit to oem chargepipe....
Did you custom tune after and what were your gains?
I have not custom tune as yet....as I need an Boost & WideBand Gauge installed first and I need New Plugs...change engine Oil ad then tune. We'll see what number I get
-
Nice... How did you connect the intercooler hose?
Sent from my Mi 9T Pro using Tapatalk
It was connected the Silicone hose that was supplied in the kit. Note if the kit did not have a silicone hose to aid in the installation...then i would have purchase same to complete the installation.

Good day bro,
I got the Verticooler TMIC to fit in the car very nice. Modification or fabrication was done for the charge pipe from the Turbo to the Intercooler...as the stock kit is not for our vehicle. One of the stock silicone hose that came with the kit, was used from the intercooler to the throttle body...no issues. Also the brackets that came with the kit...may not work on our vehicle...So I had to do some modification to one of the bracket to assist with the steadiness of the intercooler. I'll try to get some pics of what i'm speaking about...so you can have a feel of what i'm talking about.

It was a tight install... But a goodone

Ok guys... I got the boomba recirculating valve on.
-
Yes it's for sale in the classifieds. Thanks Joe for the bump.
As far as the verticooler goes. Fits and works great. Rubs the firewall a bit with the Sri trans, but no real complaints. Worthwhile upgrade for sure.
Pleasant good evening bro... is it possible for you to inform me about what gains were achieved by installing the Verticooler TMIC. I also have purchase a verticooler and I'll be installing same next month and as such...I would love to know about the HP & Torque gains.
