Does anyone have STi TMIC gaskets in stock/laying around? (WTB!)
Does anyone in or near Fremont have the two gaskets that attach the TMIC to the Y hose? Perhaps laying around or in stock?
On top of the two intercooler gaskets, I also need the gasket for the stock STi blow off valve since mine is leaking.
I really want to install this new Y pipe because my custom one that I'm using now isn't working very well anymore, so I have a boost leak in my current Y pipe and a leak on my BOV gasket... I feel like I've lost a good 50hp on the top end.
As you can imagine, it's driving me CRAZY and I want to get this resolved as soon as possible so I'd REALLY appreciate your help if you can.
Recap, I need:
1. Two STi Intercooler gaskets that connect the Y pipe to the Intercooler
2. One STi blow off valve gasket.
At this point I'll even settle for used gaskets!
Please help! This is driving me nuts! I know how to fix it, I know what's wrong, yet I can't do anything about it because I don't have the parts to fix it... Its amazing how much hell a leaking gasket can give you! heheh...

uhm just go to the dealer ship tomorrow and buy some new and get it done with. i mean you can get used but what are the chances that it will mate the same as the old intercooler on your intercooler? save yourself the hassle and just buy a few new ones. i believe stevens creek subaru keeps them in stock.

If what you say is true and the dealer does stock them, then that is my solution and I'll be done tomorrow! I have bad luck with buying parts that are in stock... I always have to order stuff...
<------ Crosses fingers for dealership!
I'll go to Stevens Creek tomorrow since their parts dept is second to none. (Unit 91 and DemonPossessed FOR THE WIN!)

Steven's Creek Subaru parts dept friggin ROCKS!!!
They saw this thread, took the parts and put them on hold for me, PM'd me with their phone number, I called them and they confirmed that they have them and are holding them for me... I roll up to the shop and sure enough, parts are waiting there for me.
Easiest transaction EVER!
