I knew it would be tight with a TMIC, but I didn't think it would be THAT close.

My core measures 20" wide and 10" from the top of the core to the edge of the outlet.

That's a clean engine bay too!

Yeah. You probably have the newer style if it has plastic ends on it. Its smaller than the all metal one I had.

I got alot of info over at sl-i.net when boosting my car. There is a couple guys on there that have done it.

I'll check sl-i.net out. Can't hurt to have another resource.

That's good to know that mine's smaller than the one you ran. I believe my motor has a wrx intake manifold and throttle body. I don't know if it'll change the over distance between the TB and firewall compared to the 22E IM/TB combo. But I can't imagine it's very significant if there is any change at all.

Can you maybe edit your first post and include just some basic info about what the overall plan is here? Is this a focus w/ STi swap? LS1 WRX? I have no idea what any of the wiring changes are for or what the turbo swap will get you...pretend this is not a subaru board and fill in us guys with fast cars on what you're ultimately up to!

First setback. Looking through the Legacy harness I bought last year, there are cut wires and missing connections. I'm going to have to pull the wiring out of the Legacy to make sure I have a known good harness. This makes TWO bad harness I've bought.

Which means I have to wait until the snow melts so my Dad can get the g-d boat out of the garage. FML.

Never in my life have I seen so many different answers for the same stupid question. There are a lot of big forum talkers, and a lot of morons on the Subaru forums. Makes getting a legitimate answer tough.
