Thanks, but I'm looking for a bolt-in 05-09 LGT/08+ WRX style TMIC.
Ordering the 16g today...
-
DW850s, etune, filtered oil supply line, GS EBCS & new gaskets bought today. Just need a fuel pump & TMIC...
-
250$ for the tmic? Can send pics to show quality
-
Not even sure what it would take to adapt for flanged turbo outlet & recirc. Show me it can be done cheaply and maybe we can work something out.
-
Sorry thought you were upgrading to a non flanged outlet compressor style turbo
-
Ah, no problem. Yeah, if I was doing that I'd go FMIC anyway
Bought the Walbro today, thanks Tintmasters!
-
Found a deal on a TMIC, AVO it is... Pick it up on the 11th in the cities.
Injectors came today, and the guys at United said some of the diesel shops in town might be the place to go for a thorough cleaning - I'll have to check that out. Flow sheet looks good, all between 847 and 850cc.
-
Got a shipment notice and tracking number from BNR, my EVO3 16G is on it's way! Now I just hope it survives the madness that is UPS during the holidays...
Still holding onto hope that the DW65c's will be out sooner than later, I'd rather not have to modify the fuel pickup assembly if I don't have to...
-
Got my base etune yesterday & turbo today. Everything is here except the intercooler, which I'll pick up Monday.

Hell yeah... I'm gonna go into UPS withdrawls after all this.

Picked up the TMIC in the cities yesterday.
Hope to get the fuel pump in one of these nights, then Friday/Saturday do the rest of the install.
-
DONE!
Started at about 6, installed turbo, injectors, gs ebcs, tmic & filtered oil line. Flashed the new tune and took her for a test drive around midnight. I think I'm overboosting a bit, but I'm seeing 21# on my little 16g! :cheers:
-
Took a look at my old turbo. .021 of shaft play, and it was indeed rubbing on the compressor cover!

Fuel pump went in last night, so I'm finally ready to pull some 3rd gear logs and get my tune revised.
-
Oh, and now that I can run it to redline, I'm seeing 63% IDC on my base tune. That should put me around 82% when I tune for E85. Some people had suggested 750s or even 650s but I'm glad I went with 850s. Car runs and idles great.
-
Yeah, so 63 x 1.3 = 81.9 unless I'm doing the math wrong...
