Installing the GrimmSpeed 02-07 Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC)

Updated 3/25/13

Introduction: This guide will illustrate the installation of the GrimmSpeed Top
Mount Intercooler on your 02-07 Subaru. This install is moderately challenging, so if

this is your first TMIC swap, set aside at least a few hours so that you can take your
time and do it right. A seasoned veteran may only spend 30min on the installation.

Tools: The tools listed below are suggested for this task (figure 1). Optional tools

are noted.

- Pliers
- 8mm socket (if you’re also installing the GrimmSpeed splitter)

- 10mm socket

- 12mm socket (deep-well or extension recommended)

- Ratchet
- Flathead screwdriver

Tips: Using an extension will help give you more space to spin the ratchet and avoid

damaging parts or your hands.
