sti scoop on my 97 leggy?

So you can't have a TMIC without a turbo?...What's different other than placement versus a FMIC?

FMIC and TMIC serve the same purpose, to cool the air coming out of the turbo before it goes into the engine. The FMIC can be bigger, and have more airflow across it. Which is why it is needed with bigger turbos.

You can use them on NA cars if you want to, but you will be laughed at

You wont have a Intercooler without a Turbo. the intercooler's purpose is to cool down the compressed air before it goes into the engine. when you compress air, a side effect is heat. So no turbo, no intercooler, Front or Top mount alike.

 
um...because there is no NEED for an intercooler without a turbo?

and with the RS and the legacys. there is a hole there, but its covered from behind. wait...maybe not on the legy GTs. hrm, have to check that one.

 
Oh, I thought an IC was the same as a radiator... Does an IC only deal with the air and a radiator only deal with the water/coolant?

correct, two different systems. the do the same thing, but for different mediums

 
As far as I know the hood scoops on the 04 and earlier legs,obacks and the RS are completly non functioning. Like the air doesn't even pass thru it. It's just for looks. I agree that it would be different to have the STI scoop, but you should just drive it as is and save your cash for a WRX or a Subie with turbo that needs the scoop. It would be kinda silly, but hey I have LGHT SBR on my lic.plate so what do I know.

that is correct about the RS scoops. but 50% of people remove the backing covers so they are open holes. also they remove the vent covers too.

that is why 50% of RS's have rusty bits under the hood.
