Was reading through NASIOC and came across a TMIC for STIs 08-14. These look great, but the vendor is not sure if they will fit Foresters. Since we can fit 04-14 OEM STI intercoolers no problem(minus the A/C line adjustment), anybody have an idea if its worth a shot?

It does not come with Y pipe. It need 08+ specific Y pipe which are only made by Subaru and they are expensive. You would need 08+ STI left intercooler bracket. So prepare to spend about $120-150 more on top of the cost of intercooler.

Yeah I know there is no Y-pipe, which are impossible to find used and/or people to sell separate from the TMIC.

My thinking is the blow out price to get this large of an intercooler for under $500 (which most other large TMIC brands start at)

Go used. I got my turbo xs tmic used on nasioc for a lot cheaper than 500

That's my question, will these larger than OEM STI Intercoolers fit into our Foresters? If I am going to upgrade the IC, splitter, hood scoop & silicone pipes, I rather give it the most cooling potential.

The TXS TMIC fits great, better than the STI units (does not rub on the AC line)

Is it the Forester specific one your referring too? And it also does not come with the Y-pipe. Wish TXS posted the core size like Torx did for comparison.

I don't think mine is Forester specific. It came with a silicone Y pipe, and you re-use the end fittings from the stock IC.

I cut the back of my stick splitter and bent it outwards,not the best solution but it will have to work for now
