LosAngelesLGT Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 PW is worth the money, I don't care what anyone says. If you like nice things, it's the tmic to get. (and so might the spearco too) Does PW cut you a check for all these shameless plugs? What, are you bitter because he's right? Just do a search under his name and RacerX. He pretty much plugs the IC on his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't know where to begin with that utterly retarded reply. "seems like it's too big", ever wonder why FMIC cores are big and not the same size of a tmic? no? well it's because the longer time air spends rushing through channels of fins that are cooler than that of the air, the less the temperature of the air that comes out. What exactly was hard to understand? Is it the best TMIC? Sure. Is it worth $1000? Not till someone sorts out a really proper splitter to make use of it. Its a Subie. But even a crap FMIC tends to cool better than a good TMIC. The PW is a nice TMIC. On a WRX it works very well. Without proper direction of air flow from the scoop and consistent airflow across the entire core, you dont actually get all the benefites of a PW set up. I have yet to see someone devise a modified air scoop to effectively do this on an LGT.There are many very capable FMIC kits available for less than a PW. Even a TurboXS (which many others are a copy of) sells for under $900 delivered. Actually the hood scoop on the 4th gen LGT is the smallest hood scoop currently used by Subaru. Because the car is the most aerodynamic. Both the OEM engine cover and the OEM splash tray are part of the aerodynamic package and are needed for proper air flow through the TMIC. The splitter supplied with the PW is meant for the WRX. It does not fit or work properly on an LGT. Lose the engine cover and you lose some efficiency as air is no longer directed into the TMIC as the engineers designed and tested. So, while the PW is a larger core, and holds the core higher off the motor (and the turbo) it is still not a perfect product. You are not even getting 100% of its use/efficiency in an LGT. It will still heat soak far faster than a FMIC. It is a nice product. But for $1000 there are better options for the same price (or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You do understand Sprank didn't know the PW even came in LGT fitment, correct? You must have missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCASEYS Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 yes, we caught that. however other than you and the boys on the BMX bandwagon any dyno "proven" gains on this AVO vs. PW Perrin vs. PW stock vs. PW even? don't just tell us to buy it because you say so show us w/ hard evidence why we need to buy this I donated to LegacyGT.com which allows me to have this nifty signature. If anything SCASEYS posts ever becomes a sticky i'm gonna light this whole place on fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm5094 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My FMS FMIC made 567 awhp at 38 psi. When I switched to PW TMIC I was at 108 awhp. What a shitty IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have missed the LGT fitment part too. Must be the not reading the whole thread + DGAF about TMIC that cost more than $450 used thing. that's why bren's website has a dyno blog. you can compare parts and performance. there were a couple lgt's with the PW and the charts are there, go find em! the fms fmic is the only fms product i'd buy, coat the pipes and it looks and performs pretty good. http://brentuning.com/blog/?p=153 Odd that the first thing I pulled up from Bren was them calling the FMS tmic the PW. Its not that I disagree with you, its just funny you must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrw Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well there's one that bolts straight to the turbo for the best heatsoak possible, then there's one that is attached to the turbo via a silicon hose for moderate heatsoak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
