I do suggest a quality tmic replacement though. Your POS stocker will leak soon, as do all the plastic end tanked ones.

I got mine because of towing my boat on the highway. It did it's job well. I am seriously considering removing the FMIC now that the subaru isn't the tow vehicle anymore.

18psi 12-20-2012 10:10 AM

How does an fmic help tow a boat? Was your charge air heating up too much from consistent high load?

TurboTim 12-20-2012 10:15 AM

Yes. It doesn't take much to heatsoak that tiny plastic TMIC even at highway speeds, when you basically are under constant positive pressure for 60 miles or so.

Plus I had the money at the time and got in on the initial itsme? FMIC groupbuy.

18psi 12-20-2012 10:21 AM

Geez, that thing must have guzzled gas like it was going out of style staying in boost for that long

TurboTim 12-20-2012 10:33 AM

between 12-14mpg on the AVG MPG display.

thenuge26 12-20-2012 11:00 AM

Meh, that's probably what you would get if you towed it with a big diesel truck. Not as bad as I thought.

sixshooter 12-20-2012 12:52 PM

I get better than that towing my boat with my Tundra, but it's not a really big boat.


What was this thread about again?

TurboTim 12-20-2012 12:57 PM

Is the tundra as fun as a 'stage 2' subaru for daily driving?

But yeah, hoping to get better towing MPG with the Rav4.

I don't know, but I'm supposed to post a picture of my wagon/hatch turbo subaru. I forgot to last night...

Apparently, I also need to get some miataturbo stickers for my miata and subie
