Turbo XS IC

SUPAREX · 08-24-2007, 12:01 AM

Who's got them? Who likes them?
Pros/cons??

I'm debating between this one and a STI JDM....

This is for an 02 WRX

wrong thread probably should have been posted in water/methonal intercooler thread

ol'skool is right, but just for the record i think the turbo xs will be more effective than the STi cooler.

I have a V7 JDM STi TMIC, and I am happy with it. The reason I bought it over anything else was that I had heard that any other TMIC necessitates pulling the IC just to check/change the tranny fluid. That could be a myth, however.

Depends on your mod path. If you're staying stock turbo, I think STi is the way to go. For bigger turbo, the TurboXS is very nice, and fitment is excellent. I ran one on my 02 rex for about 2 years, but as I said, on stock turbo, I really think its a pretty expensive piece of overkill.

I have a perrin TMIC and I can pull the tranny dipstick just fine.
