i forget the model of the turbo but its from the 98 model suberau WRX

No when fitting the turbo the only thing that needs to be moved/ taken off is the plastic front air scoop, the air ducting and then the airbox and intake chamber.

the intercooler is fairly big now, but it nearly looks small in the size of the grill.

I could have the turbo fitted in about 6 hours. the onlly thing that actually takes time to do is to bolt off the gearbox to fit the new clutch and to change the sump for the new one.

But the wiring thats gonna take a good few hours

the oilcooler has to be fitted,
the new ecu is to be wired in
the boost controller has to be hooked up,
the new fuel system has to be fitted (injectors, fuel pump, fuel rail, injector controller)

Im not fitting it toll next month when i have some more money.
As the cars in the body shop either this or next week.
and i also want to save a few quid and get a HKS Fcon PRO as my dream gadget in the car is the CAMP 2 and i want to fit the two

Dan - do you know where the fuel rails came from? Don't really know too much about rails - but I'm assuming you'd have to get larger rails and injectors fitted, no?

Also did you check for clearance around the battery - look like it could be tight over that side of the bay I think.. I know it's possible to relocate the battery to the rear of the car - is that something you might need to look at..

I really hope the comes together for you - I'd love to see it work..

Wroum-pssft.

i actually fully fitted the FMIC and piping all the way to the throttle body without a problem.

The injectors, rails, Fuel pressure regulator & Fuel pump are all larger than the standard ones from the GPX
