TomSVX Intake
Finally installed my TomSVX intake. No problems except for connecting a couple of the vacuum hoses. I have not installed the CAI yet because I wanted to see what difference this makes and then any additional differences with the CAI.
Maybe I should have asked for red connection hoses instead of blue, but I don't think there was an option. Lee

Re: TomSVX Intake
Very nice, colourful too. You should throw in an Optima Yellow Top for even more hues.

Re: TomSVX Intake
Where do the vacuum hoses go? I don't see how that one looks any different than the custom one SickSubie built.

Re: TomSVX Intake
The vacuum hoses connect on the back side of the Y-part of the tube.
I honestly don't know who originally designed this--I think it was a combination effort. I just know where I bought it. For those that are not familiar with this and the significant HP gains resulting from installation you can check out this site and see the Dyno plots. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...t=tomyx&page=3 Lee

Re: TomSVX Intake
Can't buy them anymore though, he took them off the site. I was hoping to finally get to doing all these things one I paid off my final semester's tuition, but if AWD is really diffusing, I might just drive the car until spring break and then sell it.

Re: TomSVX Intake
Pardon my ignorance, but why does the dyno show hp readings in the 170's? Is 230hp just under ideal conditons?

Re: TomSVX Intake
That's wheel hp. 230hp is factory power measured at the crank. Wheel hp is the only thing that really matters since it's what makes it through the drivetrain and onto the pavement to get us moving.
