Fitting a FMIC - Bugeye STI
Ok Guys, Im sure this is covered on here somewhere already, but what tools, space, time, and expertise are required please.
Im tempted to hand the job out to a proffesional Subaru mechanic (CAMS Performance) as the car will need mapping afterwards anyway, thus this can be done afterwards by Andrew Carr. HOWEVER I rarely get my hands dirty these days and would quite like to do the job myself.
I guess its a bumper off job, anything else?

It'll be bumper, headlights and maybe wing off but it's possible in day or 2

Hi Rob,
As long as you have an angle grinder to cut up your bumper bar you'll be be fine with a socket set/a very sharp stanly knife, i used the hook type carpart blades when i cut my bumper & a jr hacksaw just incase, but don't forget you'll need a constant feed of boiling water and coffee to keep you going.

at that power level then a remap will be nesesary as flow charecteristics are now an issue with the standard item, not just ACT's.

I fitted mine in half a day on a Friday, then spent all weekend carefully trimming the bumper to fit...
Mine was easier as it's so massive it completely replaces the bumper bar
