Just wrapped up installing a Helix catted downpipe and reflashed the ecu to Stage 2 with the AP on my 07 STi. Very impressed with the results. Now for some questions...

**With the new DP installed the AC drain tube hits the DP. No matter what I do I cant get the tube away from the DP. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? You should have some room - you can move the black plastic clip that holds it in place, so that will help if your only problem is getting it to stay put... Other than that, it's a very bad idea to let that melt, as your A/C won't have a drain anymore and will back up and mold.

**What kind of HP can one expect with TBE, AP Stage 2? I'm too lazy to go to NASIOC (or COBB's site)... I guess you are too

**What would be the next mod I should look into? Better tune? I have the following on my 07 STi.
1) Espelir Exhaust
2) Helix Catted Downpipe
3) Cobb Air Intake with Cobb Air Box
4) AccessPort Stage 2

Meth and a tune.


**Will I benefit any from a larger TMIC, or is the stock one just fine?
Thanks guys.... meth meth meth

***Really need help with this question.***
I removed the IC in order to remove the oem heat shield off the turbo,(What a pain.) after removing the IC, I noticed oil residue in the IC. I guess I should install a oil catch can. (Picked up a Greddy one.) I've looked for information and pics for a 07 with no luck. Would one of you be so kind to post a pic to help me get an idea where to run the oil lines (Hook them up.) and where to mount the can. Not a lot of room under the hood. I've asked a few guys where I should mount one and everyone of them tell me by the battery. Are you kidding me.*LOL* There is NO room near the batter for a oil catch can. they must have a early model impreza or something.
Thanks guys... it is possible to install it near the battery, just a really tight fit. I've installed on the passenger side strut tower, but only on FMIC -- I don't know if you have room or not with the stock TMIC
