ive got a turbo 2000..with a panel filter and full decatted exhaust..tempted to get a remap soon.

so was thinking

Walbro or RCM fuel pump
and an uprated intercooler..either autobahn88 TMIC which is bigger then standard unit or FMIC (against this due to cost and ive got a stock turbo td04 so i doubt itl make more tehn 280bhp at best) just want a smoother driver.

could someone please tell me the size of the standard MY99 tmic? would like to compare with alternate TMIC units

thanks

Newage STI Top Mount would be the cheapest option. You can fit these quite easily to MY99-00 cars as the inlet manifold is shorter.

bit to pricey for me..and from what ive read not that great a fit.

With the td04 I would not bother replacing the intercooler for newage sti. Would only bother if you going over 300ish. You will be just wasting your money. Just get updated fuel pump and remap and you will have 270ish bhp.

Or change turbo for vf28 or 34/35 and then the sti intercooler would be needed.

Samco Y pipe on your current TMIC will help.

Stay away from cheap and nasty aftermarket TMICs.

Check ECU type, AE801 or AE800 (OEM, but more agressive maps) are a nice upgrade which will cost very little. Manual boost controller. Monitor knock and check fuelling.

All cheap and effective mods.

if your staying on the td04 then dont bother, not worth touching the intercooler untill you go to a bigger turbo.

esskiboy

how much are these samco y pipes and could you advise where i get one please.

ok i think the general consensus seems to be to stay away from a intercooler upgrade due to turbo..

tempted to try find a ecutekd ecu and then get that remapped. il be happy with 270/280bhp to be honest. its just a run around car.

Newage WRX intercooler will be grand for the job

esskiboy

A Newage WRX intercooler is a good cheap start. But you need to mod the undertray for the best results, the standard skirting cuts out about a 1/3 of the area.

The DV will need modding unless you take the metal pipework for the OE classic off and refit the newage OE DV and pipework across to the turbo inlet.

I have a newage wrx tmic here .. Came of my 05 wrx and I'm open to offers on it

pepole more knowlegable than me will tell you that but would have thought those figures were attainable with the ecutek.

Tidgy

the td04 will be your limit, not the top mount, save your money!

You can have the tmic for £15 plus postage
