LegacyDan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 All i want is a TMIC that will fit with sti style turbo's and LGT intake manifold, something with no gangster lean and when bolted in place lines up properly with the rest of the the engine! Also hopefully it comes with a splitter to maximise airflow onto it from the hood scoop. And RHD fitment too. Cherry on top would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahoseman Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 so any news, progress, word? I may hold out on a Process West with possible shroud mod if this looks promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dga Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah, what's the holdup? Just copy the Process West and increase the core in all three directions by a fraction of an inch, bring the price down, and BAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimmSpeed Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah, what's the holdup? Just copy the Process West and increase the core in all three directions by a fraction of an inch, bring the price down, and BAM! Now now, you know that's not our style. In all seriousness, this is still moving along. The R&D/test phase of the project is not something that I've ever rushed and I don't intend to start now. I'm still hopeful that we'll have something released in the spring, but if I'm not happy with where we're at in the performance/fitment/quality/cost balance, I won't hesitate to let it delay the project. What that means for you, though, is that you know that when it's available, this thing will be the bee's knees. Yes, it will come with a replacement splitter and yes, it will fit an sti style turbo. Just wanted to give you guys an update, as it's been too long! Matt Beenen Engineering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Beenen Engineering Thanks Matt Since I'm Grimmspeed faithful - I'm seriously considering parting ways with my beloved Process West for a US designed and built equivalent If you need real world testing/comparisons - I'd be happy to oblige with the assistance of my tuner, with before and after logs and dynos My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

I'm looking forward to this and would probably get rid of my current US made, somewhat ill fitting intercooler, hopefully smaller one, for the G.S. creation.

discojon Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I am in desperate need of a tmic for my 18g Daily Driver build. I don't want to get a perrin or avo and at this point am actually considering a Fast FMIC. I would love to get ahold of a GS TMIC even for testing purposes.

N.Y.X. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Is it going to be similar pricing to your other subaru TMIC?

Nuclear Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 i can`t understand - on the site there is information that it`s availlible... is it? and will it fit Legacy GT 2.5T 2005 m.y.|Outback XT 2.5 T 2005 m.y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 NYX - That's a WRX/STI fitment. Note, piping and ducting are not included in that price - both would be required for an LGT/08+Forester & WRX TMIC, so plan the price-point realism a bit higher than RSD has them listed.. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I was just posting that for a price comparison to what they currently sell. But wait, you are saying is that the one I have posted is for the core only? And you have to buy an extra "fit kit" to make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
