Very nice numbers! Here I thought I all but gave up on keeping a TMIC with this size of turbo! I'll definitely have to reconsider now because I always wanted to keep the TMIC but thought I would be leaving alot on the table if I did....but with those numbers I'm not so sure! I am really starting to think the DOM3 will be my next turbo.

Thanks man.. Yeah I wanted to see what it would do with the TMIC thats why I did it not cause I dont want to run a FMIC just trying to experiment right now, and I could have made more power for sure my Tuner John didn't tune it that aggressive either. Like I said we were limited with the perrin EBCS but he did a great tune like always.. It all depends on what you want, with the right mods and a good tune the TMIC is very capable and thats why I kept it. Like I said before the throttle response is awesome, spools at 3800rpm with a DOM 3 is great to me. I really have to thank John for really tuning this thing great even though the damn perrin EBCS could only let us run so much boost..

The DOM 3 wants 25-26psi thats its sweet spot, so I left some power on the table cause I couldn't up the boost..with a MBC or a AVCR controller I could have seen more easily and the TMIC did not hinder me at all, like I said before, "heatsoak was not a issue at all even pull after pull".. METH FTW.....

Dont let the issue of "you need a FMIC with anything bigger then a 20G" stop you.. The TMIC is capable Next GT65 with a TMIC

I cant wait to run the dom 3. After I throw all the boltons I can on my 08 STI this is the turbo I want to run.

Yeah man do it... All I can say is I love the DOM 3.0R it is great.. The spool up is amazing with this Turbo.. I hit full spool at 3800rpm but I am adding a HKS EVC boost controller this week and see if we can get her to boost quicker maybe 3500rpm. How is the 08 what mods have you done so far??

Carlos, this has everyone recontemplating the whole fmic mod path. Good job again. Looking forward to new #'s soon.

[mofoSTI]

I have done nothing so far as mods go. The AP and a maddad DP are on the list right now. I plan on throwing every mod I can at the stock turbo to see what it can do. I think with the avcs on the exhaust cams I can get that dom 3 to spool very fast. I think with an electronic wastegate the dom 3 is the best turbo on the market. My goal is 400 whp and 470lbft of torue to the wheels. Blouch is making great strides in the subaru cmmunity.

Yeah Blouch is great.. Like I said I think the DOM 3 is one of the best stock locations Turbos out there for our cars. 400WHP with that Turbo and the right mods you will def get there..

[mofoSTI]

I think the most I can get out of the stock turbo is 335 or so whp. The dom 3 will easly make 400 whp without meth. I cant wait

Yeah the VF39 on pump is 320-325WHP tuff to get more.. With the DOM 3 you will hit 400WHP no prob. I know Mike from Blouch ran the DOM 2 which is the same size as the DOM 3 only its not BB and he made 396WHP and that ws with the stock TMIC. The dom 3 is very capable. Good luck

Yeah man i would do the same.. Thats what i did wih my VF 39 went full STG 2 maxed out my Injectors then I went with DW 740cc and a pretty aggressive tune and made 316/355 and the car was a blast to drive.. Now I have this permanent look every time I get out of the car....

Here is that new HKS EVC Boost Controller I am goona run to get the boost up there and play with spool up.. Its there new version 6..
