Rotated · 06-12-2008, 03:58 AM

Does anyone know what upgraded fuel pump will fit on the 2008 STi, Also i need to know if there is a Bigger TMIC or FMIC for this car availiable for immediate purchase.

Whats better a TMIC or FMIC?!?! I know the TMIC is a lot cheaper than a FMIC but the FMIC looks way sicker... So what would people gett and why? Sorry for jacking.

To answer your question..

AVO has TMIC for the 08 STI runs at 799.99
Perrin has a TMIC for the 08 STI runs at 869.99
Ultimate Racing has a FMIC for the 08 STI runs at $995.00 (+$200 /w CAI)

Housing still needs to be modified

Yes the 08 STI's do have a different housing on the fuel pump. It is going to take some fabrication to get it to fit. I already have Deatch Werks 850cc little blues sitting here at the house. As for a TMIC its a no-go I have already test fitted the Blouch Dominator 3.0R there is no clearance the turbo is taller than the stock TMIC bracket, IMHO it will be too close to any TMIC for proper cooling, so a FMIC is a must when running this big of a turbo. I will call UR to see what they have availiable.

Scratch that on Ultimate Racing having a intercooler availiable for the 2008 STI. I just got off the phone with them and the intercooler they have is only availiable for the 2008 WRX. So i am still looking.

I think the AMR intercooler is basically avoiding the "tall turbo" problem by not extending as far over as the factory IC. Also, there's a thread on nasioc where someone was able to fit the spearco intercooler, which doesn't extend as far over as it matches the available brackets in '04-07 cars.

As I was ultimately hoping to go with a hybrid and big TMIC, I'm not sure there's a happy solution here other than going back to '04-07-type intercooler dimensions, which would give up some cooling potential. Maybe I'll go with a custom rotated setup so I can push the turbo down more.

oh, and search first...
