If you get a tune, then an FMIC might make more power than the stock top mount. It will however increase lag.

For the stock turbo, I'd stay with the stock IC or an STI IC.

If youre running lots a boost with bigger turbo and tune etc... then might want to go FMIC.

tmic is fine for stock turbo, switch to fmic for a larger turbo that will be flowing much more air

Agreed. However he already has an STI IC seeing as he drives an STI.

Read the FAQs about intercoolers. A larger TMIC can do as much as an FMIC
