TMIC is a definite upgrade for me in a distant future, so... Count me in!!
Nothin' better than supporting local products!!

O/T but another member on here has done the same to me before.

Good work KMH, will be watching this topic with interest.

How is that arm of yours now Jmac.


If you would like a loan of a stock top mount for the project I can lend you mine, as it only lives in the garage these days.

Ok here are the results of today's R&D.

The SRI design is complete. It sounds good (the way an MPS should sound) and the car feels better than it did with my old SRI (probably because the ID is now correct and possibly also because the foam filter flows better). The are no CEL's and I don't expect any. I'll be doing some more testing miles tonight, if only because the car feels great and wants to be driven.



I don't have a price for the SRI yet but I expect it will be in the same ball park as their Subaru SRI.

My car is going back on Thursday for more detailed work on the intercooler. This should be closely followed by manufacture of a batch of cores then fabrication of the end tanks and testing of the first prototype.

I'm not sure of the benefit of another MAF housing and filter kit for our market. Why not build the full system like the Corksport as that's only $100 more but it's a full intake which gets ride of the accordian pipe and stupidly shaped turbo inlet pipe.

There are a couple of reasons. First, when BB and I wanted to go and buy a basic SRI kit that had specific MPS fitment, there weren't any that appeared to be readily available. There are companies who make them, but the likelihood of going to a website or making a phone call and buying one today just seemed to be too unlikely.

Second, not everyone wants the hassle involved in fitting a full intake. The basic SRI kit has to be one of the easiest and quickest mods around. If you know what you're doing it's a 5 minute job.

And probably thirdly, while I agree that the stock intake doesn't look very flow friendly, I've not seen any flow bench evidence that proves it inhibits flow. Also, some of the reports Ive read suggest there may be no power gains with the full intakes with TIP's.

So I'm happy to stick with my factory TIP, it's solid and reliable, it fits well in a confined space and doesn't make any freaky noises.

I certainly needed one, and maybe a few others do also.
