GimmSpeed- First off great product. I finally had the chance to install mine on my 05 LGT and the final result is outstanding. Only issue I had was that in your instructions you don't list the step where you have to remove ( in an LGT anyway) the metal bracket that is in the spot where the included front stabilizer and bracket bolt to the engine. No idea what this bracket was for other than it had a small sensor clip on it that I had to remove and zip tie out of the way. I'm sure even the less mechanically inclined could figure it out but just wanted to mention it.

You're absolutely correct! We're working on a version of this video that is specific to LGT fitment. We don't have one as a shop car anymore, so access is just a bit more difficult. Glad you got it installed with no problem!

I have never wished that I had $1,000 at my disposal more than right now. This intercooler looks absolutely stunning! Not that I would expect anything less from GrimmSpeed, mind you. I'll have to put this on my list of things to install once the car is paid off. Now for the newbie question. I have been around Subarus for years, but I am somewhat new to the whole turbo boxer scene. I do know that there are certain things you can't do to these engines without remapping the ECU. Is an intercooler swap one of these things?
@GrimmSpeed
@GrimmSpeed 9 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! You intercooler is one of those things that can be swapped without tuning changes! If you're highly modified and running speed density, things change a bit, but for 99% of enthusiasts out there, you're perfectly safe just swapping it over. Here's the catch, though. Since it's more effective than the factory intercooler, you'll gain a nice 'safety net' on your current tune, but a new tune will allow the tuner to take advantage of the increased cooling to make you more power. The choice is yours! A lot of people will swap them on and then wait until their next 'must tune' mod before hitting the dyno. Cheers!

You mentioned a tune would take advantage of the increased cooling capacity but what If I was switching from a verticooler to this? They are both much bigger than the stock tmic. I would think that a tune is even more not required right since I was already tuned to the verticooler?
@GrimmSpeed
@GrimmSpeed 9 жыл бұрын
Winson Lai I'd say that you're probably correct. Close enough, at least, that it wouldn't warrant a fresh tune. Personally, I think it's a great decision, but do you mind if I ask why you're switching from the Verticooler to the GrimmSpeed TMIC?

@GrimmSpeed
@GrimmSpeed 8 жыл бұрын
+Colin Fecteau No tune required, although with the additional cooling capacity, a tuner would be able to safely tune a big more aggressively in order to produce additional power. In either case, you should notice that the loss of power that you previously experienced due to heat soak is gone entirely!
