neill54 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I've just received my newish intercooler today but I have a wee tech question! On my wrx with the squint small black TMIC I'm going to fit a version 3 or 4 sti ( I thinks it's this kind anyway!) so only car with the black plastic y pipe my dump valve is tee'd off here just before the turbo but on my new TMIC the dump valve has it's own connection on the IC This is where my tech knowledge is limited do I have a dump valve and do I need a BOV now? Help please I'll get pics if needed Neil
drb5 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Dump valve and BOV are one and the same thing fella. I thought you'd have looked up how to fit the intercooler before buying it? It's a do-able job, but requires modifying a few pipes and stuff. Not a quick or straight forward job, but certainly will work ok.
Wee Jock Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This might help you! http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/STi8IntercoolerOntoMY00Classic
neill54 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Cheers guys I know how to modify the brackets etc had looked all that up before it's just that on mine the dv is after the intercooler and on the new one I'll have to fit the dump valve before it if that makes sense! I'll get pics tomorrow looks easy enough!! Neil
drb5 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 They both will work the same way mate. It's just the positioning that's different.
neill54 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Good news then should get in about this weekend might just have to buy some silicone hoses along with a few other goodies !! Neil
