Last thing I need is for it to come apart and go through the block. My car has a perrin FMIC, but honestly there’s quite a few people on IWSTI and nasioc running the SSAC intercoolers and they have great luck with them. I just can’t bring myself to chance it I stick with what is known to work. If you wanted to even to a minor intercooler upgrade the 08+ TMIC’s were a good bit larger and flow a bit better. I’m sure it would help with your power up top. ---

Yeah the 08 and up STi top mounts are huge and bolt right on. You can pick them up for around $350 on NASIOC. ---

^lmao. As far as pressure drop having nothing to do with sombodies choice in a fmic, I think it’s a pretty big deciding factor. It was for myself at least. ---
