    Anyone know if this is possible? I have been scouring the forums and talking to local tuners but am getting 2 different stories equally.

    Story #1:
    As long as you have the right "Y" pipe kit , it should bolt right on.

    Story #2:
    It will not fit because the 08 WRX uses the LGT intake manifold.

    :dunno

    Which one is true?
    Anyone do/try this?

    There are so many multitudes of problems its not even funny.

    Best way to go about that is swapping the entire intake manifold and turbo hardware from an 08-10 STi and THEN you can use the 08~10 sti TMIC.

    Otherwise, lots of ppl make a bigger bolt on TMIC for the 08~10 WRX. Get that or a FMIC.

    ^Probably will not work on the 08+ WRX and 05+ LGT.

    Morel of the story....

    ...Make sure that the tuner you are talking to knows what he is talking about!

    Perrin TMIC is on the way, anyone looking for an 08 STI TMIC?
