MDKSDMF Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 the title says it all. i was wondering if anyone has tried this out and if it actually fits and holds stage 2 boost...i am on a tight budget and would love an FMIC. this pice is about 340 shipped. id probably paint and coat the pipes too. ALSO, they have godspeed FMIC kits up there cheap. the same goes for those too. i was wondering if any members had experience with either of these? this is the godspeed, it look s a little nicer. im about to purchase this and see what i can do with it http://www.ebay.com/itm/GODSPEED-05-06-07-LEGACY-GT-BL9-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-KIT-FREE-SHIPPING-/110881802762?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d1120a0a&vxp=mtr#ht_5837wt_1010 the other one a little cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Legacy-GT-BL9-Upgrade-Bolt-On-Front-Mount-Intercooler-Piping-Kit-FMIC-2-5-06-/380439956045?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALegacy%7CMake%3ASubaru&hash=item5893fd0a4d&vxp=mtr#ht_4459wt_1118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 That is the old XO2 kit. I have one in my car for four years now, never had any problems. The only thing is you need to have a BOV flange welded in. You loose your fog lights with this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I fabricated brackets and mounted it solid to the radiator support. Those kits are identical BTW. I've installed several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKSDMF Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 hmmm sounds pretty good for the money. so fitment isnt that bad? no throttle body pop off under boost either? i might b getting an fms for a lil more. do u think its worth the money?

GTTuner Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have never had ANY hose's pop off my installs. If the pipes are routed correctly and clamped down you'll never have a problem. It is a good deal for the money, I almost want to buy one just to have as a spare kit. I have to say the IC core has held up good over a few winters also. FYI, this kit will fit with the stock airbox, many so no but I have done it. If your fog lights are really important to you then spend the extra money. I had added some 4300K HID's and the fog lamps were useless after so I went this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Cool, let me know if you need any help. There is some trimming to the front fascia and the bottom of the radiator support on the driver side for everything to slip in nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
