Default what fmic & induction kit

now im sure this has been asked many times before, but im now in the market for a reasonably priced set up, its not for huge power gains just to prevent heat soak as i plan on doing hill climbs and sprints and have been informed this can be a problem with all the waiting around before the start. also could any of the hill climb gurus out there tell me if they would recommend the fitting of an oil cooler? not sure this is necessary as i imagine getting the oil up to temp is more of a problem. i have a forged engine so no worries reguarding supporting mods sorry for the long post.

APS cold air intake which locates inside the wing, not sure what intercooler boost pipe run are o.k, but i know there APS front mount is a perfect match. Expensive but worth it i think.

If your car is a classic, Hybrid, no question.

about 300 quid, excellent quality, proven results, including my car and I've yet to see any demonstration that the kits that cost 1k etc work demonstrably better.


Have a look here for info:

As above, the Hybrid FMIC is a very decent bit of kit. Hybrid FMIC Kits - Subaru Impreza - best prices

There is a good possibility that you do not need an oilcooler which should be avoided if possible. I suggest you fit an oil pressure guage and monitor oil temps before committing to a cooler.

I can supply you next day with a Hybrid GT FMIC kit along with any technical assistance or spares back up many people on here enjoy.

You can fit a number of induction kits as you will loose the O/E airbox. The APS can be made to fit but that would not be my choice. You can easily make your own cold air kit with the filter located in the inner wing or fit a cone filter system from K+N but that will work best with a cold air divide.
