Well, I need a new IC. My plan is to stay with a top mount. I've seen a few people on here are running the ebay special, and actually I've seen a couple good ones on there that have solid feedback in regards to fitment and quality. Anyone have any input? I need to try to to keep the cost of the new IC down. also, what are people doing for an effective splitter? FYI- I will be running a vf39 Here's an example IC this ebayer one has great feedback on ebay and other subaru boards. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-0...tegoryZ33742QQihZ013QQitemZ230154087678QQrdZ1
If you want to pick up a splitter i got a GT spec splitter sitting in my garage I would let go for 50 bucks if you come and pick it up.
Ive heard alright things about those intercoolers, I am looking for a vf39 right now and plan to stick with a large tmic. Too bad APS and others are $600+
^^^ thanks. IIRC that splitter works well with the sti top mount, do you know if it will fit this? Dimensions = 20"x12"x4"
The ebay intercooler is huge and the ssac version fits perfectly on my 06 wrx with vf39 (hoses and brackets all line up, no need to bend ac lines). 2 small details... the bpv mounting point is now shifted about 3 inches to the right. I had to cut out a plastic heatshield to fit my forge bpv. Zak's Forge bpv fit with no cutting on his stock tmic iirc. Stock bpv fit fine. The SSAC top mount is HEAVY. I am also running 06 STI splitter and bellows. I had to cut the rubber bellows to make more room and its still about 1/2" short on top and bottom, 1" short on one side and 2" short on the other. Its a different year car, but if you want to see it I'll be at BP subaru and Firestone this Friday.
