WRX TMIC Upgrade
 

Hello all.

I have found an older thread about this very thing, but wanted a more recent opinion. Is a STI TMIC on a 2.5 WRX an easy straight swap?

I know the STI one is bigger, but are the fittings the same?

I will be getting a full exhaust system upgrade soon, but wanted to improve a few air flow issues so wanted to know what I could do before a remap.

Some say there is no point on a WRX till the 350bhp mark, but I just thought it would make a nice cheap(ish) upgrade in the mean time. I have an STI undertray so that isn't an issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've a STI intercooler for sale if needed, as far as I'm aware these are direct swaps but a blob sti will rub (from previous post)

Straight swap so long as the STI intercooler also comes with the flexi pipes required. If not they can be purchased.

Is the y pipe included? Looked at mine a while ago, its bit of a mess
