Hello all,

Long story short, I can't go WOT because I don't have brackets that hold the intercooler to the intake manifold, so the only thing that is holding my TMIC on is a blue samco hose which is secured using metal brackets. When I go WOT (Wide open throttle) the hose comes loose and I get major boost leak that prevents me from going over 2,000 rpms, and needless to say, boost leak is the worst thing possible (minus detonation).


I really need a set of brackets and I figured some of you guys would have some if you upgraded to FMIC, or if you just have them laying around.

I think the stock WRX brackets work just the same, but I'm not positive. Can anyone confirm that?

Here's a picture of where they connect to the intercooler (The red arrows pointing to the sides of the IC)





PLEASE someone have these! Worst case, does anyone live near a wrecking yard where they have a lot of wrecked WRXs?


I'll owe you big time if you come through! I don't know how much to charge, so just throw out a price.

 

Go to Cypress Auto Wreckers in Hayward. They have wrx's there. Good Luck Brandon.

 

that reminds me i dont have mine either

 

I might have this mate, drop me a line at the shop in the morning!

Mike

 

Thank goodness for Mike! I really appreciate it man.

 

I'm worried, why are those brackets missing!

Moike with the save.
