Will a stock GR sti tmic fit a GD sti? Well, I'll let you guys decide.
Anyhow, I did this test cause I keep hearing people say it won't fit. So here we go...............
Stock GR sti tmic vs GD sti tmic comparison. The bigger unit is the GR core with no throttle body hose. Now on to the test fit. First you will need this 3rd bracket from a GR sti and bolt it on in place like it's shown in the bottom picture, if not you can always fabricate a bracket to extend it out to accommodate for the larger core. A quick install tease to see if it fits. AC lines clear. Check Wastegate actuator and etc. clearance. Check

P/N on the bracket for future parties to swap ICs would be great. I thought about this a while ago, and figured it would only take using the GR brackets.

Strong work! This ought to provide adequate cooling up to 20G or so. Appreciate your efforts.

Looks great!
I have an opportunity to buy one for my 07 wrx, I was going to pass on it, but I think I will take it now after seeing your pictures. I shouldn't have any issues on a wrx right? |

With a WRX you may need the STI brackets. I don't recall, but there should be a thread in the 2L forum about fitting an STI intercooler to a WRX.

I have no idea but the process west coupled with its own splitter should be better but overall this tmic is a good option compared to the previous years. I've also owned a version 7 sti tmic and I've ran that with my old fp green setup in the past with no problem. Also it also depends on how much your willing to pay.

^^^ Wow that looks awesome, it looks like it belongs in there! Glad to be of some help. I'm digging the blue hoses too.

bumping up an old thread but I would like to add a few things from my installation on an 07 WRX for future reference.
I ran into fitment issues with the stock GRB bracket so I trimmed it to make it literally an extended piece. As stated before, you can measure and fabricate a bracket at a local hardware store. The stock y-pipe red hose is just as much of a PITA to get on as the 04-07 STi intercooler y-pipe red hose is (as they are the same size) so getting an extended y-pipe hose makes installation easier. I was still able to reinstall the JDM STi FHI Titanium front strut bar without any fitment issues. SPT or similar style turbo heat shields will not fit due to the extended bracket. The Subtle Solutions GRB Intercooler splitter will fit under the 06/07 hood scoop without the intercooler splitter if you want to cheat. However, the GRB splitter sits a bit slanted due to the lower passenger bolt and removing the intercooler splitter does not allow the air to directly flow over the last 1/3 section of the intercooler so modifying the intercooler splitter is still needed for efficiency. Last edited by freshADR; 10-17-2011 at 11:20 PM. Reason: added heat shield info |

Anyone tracked down the part number for the 3rd 'extra' bracket to fit these TMICs to GDs?

Blatant Sales pitch
We have a brand new 2008+ tmic up for sale (still in the factory box). It is the same one as shown in this thread's images. $550 retail, blowing out for $421 + ship. We accidentally ordered this unit instead of an aftermarket unit and found out it can not be returned to our dealer since it was special order Part # for TMIC: 21820AA380 Stephen www.iaperformance.com |

Also just feeding back to my question.
Thanks to the staff working at the local parts department at (who is also working his last day before retirement today!) the part number for the bracket is 21885AA330, ~$47 from Subaru Australia. Might do some US-investigation methinks. Searchy keywords: GR TMIC brakcet 3rd stay intercooler inter cooler 08+ STi |
