Just use jdm Sti TMIC - will fit perfectly and do the job

Best to state what intake mani & TB combo you have.
Afaik the legacy plastic mani has an offset to passenger side inlet.
The Sti alloy mani (with cable throttle?) has a central inlet.

I'm sure someone here knows the complete rundown :)

Didnt you swap to a jdm ej207 twin scroll Dan?

If you're still running liberty /legacy plastic mani then yes the Sti TMIC won't fit unless you swap inlet manifolds (but retain your legacy throttle body).

Or you could make a custom silicon hose join from Sti TMIC to legacy tb

Otherwise just get an aftermarket TMIC to suit legacy

No i have a vf36 but still on rebuilt ej20Y engine. still on the plastic mani. If i can get a sti tmic cheap ill mess around and see can i make one work. Supposedly a grimmspeed one coming out that will fit a legacy and Impreza sti style turbos. I thinking of a bigger turbo now anyway so i might keep the FMIC, this is the never ending project the way i keep chopping and changing my plans!
