allow 3/4 hours easy allowing for coffee breaks!

You'll need to take off the bumper and offside front lights and wing

The airfilter inlet on the inner wings needs to be made bigger and the bumper brille needs to be cut out to clear the FMIC

if you look at my website - www.taffy-racing.com - under Subaru SMX you'll find a few pics when I put a FMIC in my first scoob

Thank u that is a massive help and I'm now relieved it seems all the pipe work is correct! 1 more question, what is the advantage of a resonator delete and where do u get them from?

You'll delete it anyway as the FMIC removes the airbox in favour of an induction kit. You can't fit the pipework to retain the airbox set up unfortunately.

best to give the day to do it properly if youve never attempted to do one before, i done my 4th for my mate last weekend, took best part of a day to do but i didnt rush wanted a good fit etc. oh and i never had to remove wing or cut nething when i done it does mate it akward, and can sctrach the pipe work a tiny little bit but lets face it u cant see pipe work in the wing/bumper area... i dont know if you already know that you will need an induction kit as the air box with no longer fit, and a change of dump valve ...

Scoobysmeet

Yeah I no about the air filter iv got a hks mushroom filter 2 go on it. Iv been told remove the dump valve keep it and now change it? Change it 4 what? And Andy your more than welcome 2 come join us if your bored.

I made the resonator delete at work but I know HKS makes one.

I done made it to keep the air inlet pipe as straight as possible

Has anyone a photo of the dump valve when fitted ? Why can't you use the one you all ready have ?

Scoobysmeet

That's what I wanted 2 know as well?

You can reuse the DV just need longer pipes. Or you can bin the DV and blank off both ends, what turbo do you have?

Scoobysmeet

O right ok mate iv got a td05 mate

Dropping me mate off at Hayward & Scott in Basildon at 10, PM me your postcode mate and i might pop by see how you're getting on

I which case you can blank it off without issue IMHO this is my TMIC set up on my WRX as atm I am not going down the FMIC route like I have with the wagon Are you mapping the car post mods ?



Also with any resonator delete make sure you still have a return for the Idle Reg Valve and the APC (solenoid) pipe on the OEM resonator the APC is the small 5mm ID (IIRC) pipe which fixes to the box on a small plastic join that always snaps off. The IRV connect the otherside of the box and is a much bigger pipe.
