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.

Next week I'm installing a turboxs tmic but i have a feeling i'm gong to run into problems due to the strut bar i'm running. You can see that the strut bar is currently pushing the ac line forward - which will likely interfere with the tmic. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to circumvent this issue? How do you safely bend ac lines? Other options? thanks

Flipping the strut bar is a common practice. Keep in mind you likely won't be able to run the plastic cover/shroud if you do it.

I already removed the plastic shroud....but I don't think I can run the strut bar flipped b/c it interferes with the splitter. It will interfere even more withthe turboxs tmic/splitter combo
