Hi peeps

Small amount of advice needed, basicly i bought this turbosmart supersonic dv just just b4 xmas and the seller told me it should fit fine as its universal and has the adapter plate ( in pic below ).

I have a 98/99 ver5 with the dv mounted to the tmic the dv was originally removed from a bug... i THINK i may have seen somewhere that some need a trumpet or i could be compleatly wrong, could someone please advise if it will fit ..






Many thanks ....

 

The adapter plate looks like it could be for a fmic, but don't quote me. My old turbosmart dv just bolted to my tmic with no worries but that's on a newage.

 

With my turbosmart it just bolted straight on to the tmic. Try it without the adaptor, by the looks of things your dump valve doesn't need it.

 

Hi there do u no if there is a gasket between the dv and tmic ... Also what ver is ur Scoob ... Many thanks

 

I don't think the plate is fmic related ... There would b no way to fix it to the pipework but could be wrong ...

 

You need an adaptor to fit it to your tmic as it is different to the bug.

 

Can u tell me in what way it's different ? Also where I can locate a adaptor,

cheers

Yes there should be a gasket between the two parts. I have a Blob but on your version you should have the straight tmic instead of the slanted one so it should fit the same.

 

Thanks,, have a feeling I'm gonna need a gasket + adaptor as there seems to b a diffrence between the late classic and early newage ( bug )

 

Can any1 advise the best place to buy the adaptors ??

 

Post a pic of your engine mate you might not need it depending on how it is.

 

I can post a pic but it won't have my tmic in it as it's not fitted yet is that ok .. Tbh I should be able to answer most questions ( i hope lol) here is the pic anyway




What do u need to no ?

 

I wanted to see what tmic you had lol.

 

Llooll .. It Is a standard v5 sti inftercooler ... It's the flat type... I no there is a difference between v4 & v5 intercoolers..
And I no some dv's need like a pipe off the intercooler to the dv and that som bolt straight on (both later models )

MYbe I can pm u a pic of the tmic in the am ??

 

Uppp

 

adapter plate is for fitting to take off on a front mount pipe work
the dumpvalve you have there should just bolt straight to your intercooler

like this

 

Hi pete,

How's things ? hope u had a good Xmas

According to there sellers they do 1 for between:

97/00
&
o1/07

Any idea what the difference between the 2 is ? Surley the 97-00 will be mounted on the tmic same as the 01-07

Cheers

 

You need his kit to make it fit as the 2001+ intercooler is a deferent fitment.
