if the car is a daily, and i believe it is, then the top mount is an issue. i was under the impression the only reason subaru used the top mount was so they could add proper bumper support for crash testing.
im not trying to argue, but in everyday driving even a fmic will start to heat soak, and it becomes extremely noticeable on your drive home from work on a warm day.
anywho back on topic. you should talk to mike at innovative. he has put a couple fmics on newer subarus if im not mistaken.

Trust me, I didnt jump into this one blind 
And again, unless the subaru design is worse then others, I never noticed sitting traffic heat soak with my neon’s fmic. I’d imagine stale air no matter what would cause heat soak, but you think sitting over the turbo would do it more, then sitting onfront of the car, directly in the path of wind.
