you probably want to get some sort of water spray kit to keep it cool. Altho the turboXS' TMIC is huge, but no matter what, w/ the turbo locating right below it, the TMIC still heat soaks fast..

Bump...

I just got mine yesterday. Im not sure if I should fab up a seal with some rubber and not use the splitter - or buy the sti splitter and mod it with some rubber shrouding.

Any suggestions? Do I NEED to use a splitter? lmk, thanks

no amount of modding saved my turboxs tmic. the splitter actually caused damaged to mine. you might be better off going without one.

Thats what Ive been reading and most likely what I will do. I already have the jdm hood sccop (02/03) so it will be getting plenty of air...and I also read that since it sits so close to the hole, any air flowing around the core would be very minimal. I just need to put it on and see for myself. If there is a big gap/area, I will mod it.

Thanks!
