praedet Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Good luck! What IC did you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grocery getter Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Right now the STI tmic but I'm looking to either get a used Perrin or APS. I figure if I'm paying all that money for the turbo, STI conversion might as well do it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grocery getter Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Which injectors did you go with? 882cc modified injectors - this will give me enough flow for E-85 without the lumpy idle...it still is a DD for my wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Damn.. looks good grocery getter! Hi hack4875... your old ride got a new turbo this spring too (but not FP Green big!) My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Looking good Jae I bet you are excited to be getting the gear on. That turbo looks sexy. Let me know if you want to spend an hour so on a weekend after you get this installed to go through vacuum hoses with zip ties. I think I got all the connections down after helping Ted with his mani/turbo install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grocery getter Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hey guys thanks! I can't wait till I get this installed...decided to upgrade the TMIC and BOV and just get it over worth instead of using the stock STI stuff, at this point a couple more bucks doesn't matter... Nick - I'll give you a ring and take you up on the offer of zip tying all the hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 ^ i have heard the sti style TMIC is efficient enough?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grocery getter Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 If I was going to keep the VF39 it would be enough (STI TMIC) but not with the Green. Most people go front mount to help with the heat soak or a huge TMIC like the APS or Perrin even that is at the edge with the amount of power the Green can put out.

johnAWD Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You should bit the bullet and get yourself a front mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grocery getter Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I would love too but their are restrictions to want my wife is willing to life with.... No drop in the ride height No BOV or intake sound If I go with a FMIC I will need to move to a RAM or shorty intake and a BOV instead of a bypass value which equals loud intake / BOV noise which then means I have to take all the parts off my wife's Leggy. Instead of the FMIC I bought the APS TMIC (20x6.7x4.5 -big) and a APS recyling BOV and now the grimspeed, 8mm spacer kit w/upgraded gaskets and coated / polished manifold with crossover pipe.....this project is getting expensive!

tingtang Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ^ the xo2 fmic kit u can use the stock intake as well as weld a stock flange for the stock BPV.... a fpgreen with stock intake isnt that too restrictive?? that is a HUGE TMIC... my FMIC is only a little bigger... (24x9x3) holy geez... thats gonna be a really tight fit no?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till I get my IM and TMIC sold, less competition for my sale lol And he'd loose the fogs, which are just oooooo so important... Shhh... If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off.

grocery getter Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yikes didn't know about that FMIC kit.....this install is starting to cost some bucks. It would have been cheaper to buy a complete Vortech kit for the Jeep SRT8! Anyway I grabbed the APS kit because Revolutions installed the same TMIC in a Legacy GT wagon a couple of years back...fitment is tight (you have to remove the stock air spltter in the hood I believe but it will fit). Ted actually installed the Perrin TMIC which is (20x7.5x4) in his wagon two weeks ago. Need to fight that heat soak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 ^lol... but youll still get heat soak because ur still runnin a TMIC... but u are gonna have one fast sleeper ill tell u that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny how you think you got everything you need and somehow when the install is all said and done you end up dumping a substantial amount more than what you had originally intended. Then you think you’ll be happy forever with your setup and not even a couple months after getting it working right you are looking into increasing the power. I think the APS kit will work well for you. Everything heat soaks, not just TMIC’s the heat soak isn’t as bad with FMIC but I think you’re TMIC will be enough for your goals and if you aren't staying in boost repeatedly in short time frame or for in boost for long periods of time, I think heat soak will be minimal. Spool will be better with the TMIC also. Jae, I will call you tonight, I probably won’t be able to meet up with you to go over the hoses till the following weekend on Saturday. Let me know if that will work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTGT Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Subscribe for an awesome setup. Who says our hoodscoops are too small Are you planning on running the stock intake with this setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
