Clubchico15 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hello All, New to this forum, recently purchased a 11' LGT that i will use as a daily and also looking to do a few upgrades. Car currently has J-Pipe, Full Invidia N1 Exhaust , and on AP3 with Stage 2 OTS map. Looking into getting a Large TMIC or Possibly FMIC and the options are limited. I saw the post from a member here that shows most of a 08+ WRX FMIC kit stuff fits with some modifications. I seen everyone using the RacerX Charge pipe but i can't find his products online. Is he still in business? Not looking for big power, just something fun to drive back and fourth to work. Future plans: TMIC or FMIC Cobb Flex Fuel Kit 1050x Injectors DW300 Fuel Pump JR ProTune Great forum you guys have here, thanks in advance for the info!

Zee199969 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Unfortunately, RacerX products are essentially unobtainable at this point unless you can find them used from previous owners. 15+ WRX TMICs will fit our cars. I've got a Grimmspeed 15+ WRX TMIC in mine My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zee199969 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Thanks for the info. Any other options for a Charge pipe? AVO made one for our cars, but it might also be discontinued at this point. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's also worth noting that the 2015+ WRX turbocharger is different from ours, so a charge pipe from the WRX will not bolt on the same. I have wondered if you could make one of them work, but it's not guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianha42 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm using the AVO CP w/o issue if you're looking for another option if this one isn't available I would look to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olympic1 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm using the AVO CP w/o issue if you're looking for another option if this one isn't available I would look to that. Did you swap out your passenger side radiator fan to make it fit? I've heard that fitment is doable but some mention some trimming or swapping of the fan.

I've heard that fitment is doable but some mention some trimming or swapping of the fan. Heard the Bolts have to be trimmed flush as they protrude and press against the charge pipe. On another note, if you find any AVO Charge pipe for sale let me know. There was one on ebay and it's now out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianha42 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Did you swap out your passenger side radiator fan to make it fit? I've heard that fitment is doable but some mention some trimming or swapping of the fan. No, the OEM fan housing is used and bolt weren't trimmed. Here is a picture showing the concern others had mentioned about the bolt touching the charge pipe. It is poking in maybe 1 mm into the side of the silicon but I can understand how trimming the end of this bolt would make this easier. I looked into a Mishimoto slim fan shroud but decided to not proceed until trying without and it was successful so I saved myself several hundred more dollars. Also these are still available from the AVO US online retailer, wpdusa.com for $328, but you can choose your color =) Edited March 2, 2021 by Brianha42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
