I've just purchased an Sti top mount to go on my blob wagon. It didn't come with the black vacuum pipes, will I be able to transfer the ones off my standard tmic to the larger Sti intercooler?

Also do I need to run an Sti under tray or is the WRX one ok?

Cheers, Ian

 

Anyone?

 

Your hoses will fit but you need sti undertray

 

And bonnet scoop off sti as undertray wont fit in wrx scoop i dont think

 

Is that a necessity, or will the Sti TMIC work with the standard WRX scoop and undertray?

 

Wrx undertray wont match up to out edge of sti one to make the seal to direct air

 

You can use a Bug sti undertray and keep the wrx scoop, as the bug tray is not so deep. I just happen to have one for sale, as I was going to upgrade tmic, but am now selling up

 

Cheers

How much do you want for it posted?

 

Hi Ian,
It`s £ 50 plus postage, just bumped it up in the for sale section; Didn`t you have a little un on the way ? Hope it all went well if it is you.
Cheers

 

make sure to bend your A/C lines out of the way, or the bigger STi TMIC will rub a hole through them in a matter of weeks.

 

Yeah all well thanks, 7 weeks old today! How did you get on selling all the other parts? Would've loved to have had the lot, but this child is draining my bank balance! 😄

Sounds good! Will sort out payment today �

 

Yeah all good thanks, he's now 7 weeks old and draining all my finances!! Yep that sounds good, will PM you and sort the payment out today �

 

Hi yeah I saw that in a fitting guide, is it an easy bend by hand, or do you need pipe benders? Also I heard about a clip to attach the aircon pipe to the bulkhead, is this needed? Thanks, Ian

 

can I reuse the black pipes off my wrx top mount? if not where can I buy sti ones? cheers Ian

 

You can re-use your own, they're the same.

Also bug STI undertray goes straight under a Blob WRX scoop, I've got the same set up on mine.

 

Cheers, that's just saved me going out in the cold to measure up �

Got a bug Sti undertray on the way, so should be straight forward now......

 

Anyone else thinking of the STi top mount on their WRX? - I have all you need.

All fitted now! Anyone else have the issue of the larger TMIC rubbing the vacuum pipe out of the actuator?

 

you can spin the actuator round if that helps you, just give it a gentle tickle with a screwdriver/hammer and you'll have tons of room.

 

nice one! will give it a bash tomorrow. Many thanks
