I didn't say I was "testing".


What are the 10% doing?
1) I completely believe you. But that doesn't change my original statement, only confirms it.
2) Ok fair enough. But you made it sound like it
3) building proper race cars which cost a TON of money and include things like proper shrouding, oil coolers, trans coolers, ect. big boy stuff that costs T$$$$XAS
4) if you're gonna go all custom, I'd highly recommend an EFR

Are you putting the FMIC on before the turbo?

actually if we're dreaming (and let's face it, you are) here's how my "jQQ" build would go:

KillerB ewg header with t3 flange custom added feeding a Borg EFR 7163 going into a grimmspeed tmic
or
Fobiafab low mount or fog-mount mani feeding a borg EFR going into a fmic and then into a reverse IM

there are many other combinations/good parts but those just came to mind quickest

Subaru's are jack of all trades cars, master of none. Most move on to better platform if they're serious about track

I have an oil cooler. I have some shrouding. I don't really see anyone with trans coolers, that thought has crossed my mind. If you recall, I was exploring ways to cool my rear diff.

You're not the first to say EFR. But everyone else is running Garrett. I like that I can get a Garrett solution that is large and stock location.

Yeah. We'll see how it goes. But I think the VF52 will be able to hang with the FMIC I have.

I still want to street my car. With that in mind, I don't want to rotate the turbo. Also, EWG will never pass sound at Laguna Seca.

That's where I'm at with it though. I love that I can do everything with my car. I love that I can drive almost the same car at the track on Sunday and then to the office on Monday.

If you're staying stock location I see zero reason to complicate things with a different compressor cover layout that won't fit your oem (read: smog compliant) tmic.

it's like you want the worst of both worlds.

compressor cover layout? FMIC is smog compliant.

There's a ***** juice pump around the corner from my place. But it's not at the track. I don't really want to lose space to a meth tank.
