06-07 tmic install woes
I've done plenty of searching and seem to be having a little issue with my tmic install.
I've lowered all of my lines under the pitch stop and the tmic y is still hitting my a/c line. From all of the pics I've found seems like I'm the only one with this issue and having the goofy a/c line. Most lines I've seen don't have that round cylinder type piece on it.
Any ideas?

It's a factory ac car. My buddies 92 ss has the same thing on his car.
Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
th3e only difference I can see is a different part number jun 93 production and newer. 73045aa311 up to 0593 , 73054aa410 06/93 + , even the evap core is different for the latest model year. surely you can at worst disconnect and reclock it or make a bend in the alum. pipe?

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
The factory turbos all have a kinked line like that. The part number difference is when they went to R134.
The solution is to grab a non turbo line off a legacy with the same brand ac compressor as yours. Non turbos could come with 3 or more different compressors so that has to match.

I'm doing the same thing as we speak. Cleared the AC line but hitting the coolant reservior. How did you did you relocate that?

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
My,buddies 92 ss has the same cylinder thing on the line. So it must be a non turbo thing.
I'm trying to do it without having to disconnect the line and lose all that precious r-12. I did think of putting a kink in it. I may end up doing that.
I clocked it 90° and built a bracket. Looks pretty nice actually, almost factory. Uses factory mounting holes also.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
The thing I can suggest is slightly loosening the fitting just enough to rotate that line downwards just a little bit to see if that gives you a little more clearance.
Are you needing a little bit or a lot more clearance to get things to fit?
As for the coolant expansion tank, most people relocate it using a newer style metal WRX tank. I rotated mine with my AWIC setup, but I did not have the bypass valve on the intercooler to get in the way.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
I just need a little bit, 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch. I have loosened the fitting in order to rotate. Just need a little more. May need gteaser to come by and help.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
Been super busy with work lately bit i fanally got it on. Getting some sort of vibration or air type noise from 0-4 psi. It almost sounds like a balloon loosing air. I make full boost so I don't think it's a boost leak. The intercooler also slightly rubs the hood. Still demons I gotta work out.

That balloon sound is a boost leak.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
It only happens at low boost though...
I've double checked everything. I'm starting to go crazy with this.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
Had a similar issue with my 93. Hissing at low boost. I tried to find it every way possible. Then when I pulled the engine out and started breaking it down, I noticed several cracks in the intake tract post turbo. Did you inspect your Y-Pipe before installation?

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
Yea. Y pipe is completely custom made by me. Everything has been tightened and checked.
Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
Intercooler looks awesome. Glad it is in and the AC line is cleared. I also had the same deal as you and it turned out to be a leak at one of the joints on the y-pipe. Everything looked and felt fine but just needed to be readjusted. Definitely a pain the first few times installing.

Re: 06-07 tmic install woes
I have never done a tmic. It looks awesome, but I never got the opportunity. I jumped straight to a greddy front mount cuz I got a deal.
Report back and let us know how your setup is doing broski.

I'm installing mine and wonder how I relocate the hose off the inlet that goes to the charge pipe to the throttlebody. Right now doing a robtune 550 and installing an 06 intercooler. HELP ='(
