Nrw Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Its been two weeks since I drove the Legacy. I'm going to drive my Miata until the 30th so my Legacy feels like a rocket. I didn't drive mine since November. Wasn't planning on taking it out till mid march. That first hit of boost. F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfoyle Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Got the important part in hand! TurboSmart Kompact Dual port BOV also in the mail... Not sure if that will get installed at the same time as the TMIC, or wait for the RacerX charge pipe... 23 days till install, 26 days till moar powah!

Nrw Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'd just throw it on with the intercooler. I can't see it being too tough on a 5th gen. Then again I don't really know where it sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfoyle Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 pffft. call that an intercooler? I know, I know... It's for a 5th Gen so it's automatically slow and fugly... but our options are limited, so we take what we can get. No front mounts available, and from what I understand, given we don't have the same heat-soak problems as you badasses, it's questionable whether it's necessary...

Nrw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 oh you topmount guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yay top mount. Boo front mount. My understanding of the benefit of front mount was both the fact that you can get a larger area heat exchanger up front and that the airflow up there was much better than through the hood. I imagine there's less heat soak too, but I'm not really sure to what degree each of those factors effects the efficiency of intercooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellesedil Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If it's just body work that needs to be done to repair the keying, what's stopping you from still installing the performance mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to get the damage assessed Wednesday by Geiko and then take the assessment to my body shop. Yeah NRW just suggested I do the same thing. I'm going to talk to the body shop and insurance to see if I can schedule it for next month to get repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil2k2 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I would be willing to bet that the body shop and Geico would be very flexible with when it gets re-painted. Get your tune on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordchilly Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm praying that my car gets out by next Saturday from the body shop. I need my stuff installed before the tune Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
