After some a/f and timing tweaks it pulls noticeably harder. I was able to add timing in a lot of areas that couldnt take any additional timing, and I was able to lean the fueling down just a TOUCH in many areas as well.

Are you comparing the TXS to the STi I/C when you're talking about the tweaks?

The factory TMIC has grooves for its rubber gaskets, 2 on the bottom & one where the bov connects. Did you make new gaskets..? what did u do?

I just finished installing the TurboXS TMIC on Sunday Afternoon. I have ZERO Experience and it only took a few Hours on sat night and an hour on sunday and 2 phone calls to Dave from Integrity Performance who helped me out big time!
First of all this thing is a BEAST! it looks like 3 times as big as the stock TMIC and probably weighs that much. it almost looks like it wont fit in but with a little finagling it did. I notice a huge difference. i still have my stock scoop. i am waiting for an sti scoop to get painted and im going to try make the splitter with some help from the $20 splitter thread here.
Take a look at the hose that came with the TMIC ( with red line ) just wanted to see if this is the best spot for it. it looked like the only spot.

I only had one small blunder in the whole process. i lost one of the clips that holds the Cam cover down. where can i get one of these.

Hmmm, I guess you could always mount the hard lines somewhere.

Im not sure what you mean. What are the Hard lines?

HOLLYW00D · 10-17-2007, 07:42 AM

did you retain the stock BOV or is it an STi BOV?

The hardlines are what you replaced with that giant hoes. They screwed into the front of the stock intercooler

Whoa. I didn't realize what I said.

Looks good.

The large hose simply replaces the hardline on the stock IC to reconnect both sides of the PCV system. It’s not like a “STi” hard-line is superior to a rubber replacement line or anything. I ran mine with a little more length so I could tuck it more forward so it can’t be seen with the engine cover installed.

Bass Ackwards · 10-18-2007, 06:02 AM

so the hose that came with the turboxs is ok, a few more inches wouldnt hurt is what your saying.
No shortage of giant hoes in Jersey i can asure you.

Any idea where to get a clip for the cam cover which i lost in the mix?
