I think the advantage of the PW one is that the rest of the GC engine bay does not require modification for it to fit

It also comes with splitter and Y-pipe, which are the little things that increase the performance and efficiency of TMIC's.

So lets summarise with the pro's and con's of each:

GD STi TMIC
Pros:
  • Cheap! ~$400-500
  • Proven performance?

Cons:
  • Second-hand condition & Availability
  • GC engine bay requires modification to make it fit

PW TMIC
Pros:
  • No modification required to fit
  • Performance results released

Cons:
  • Price ~$995

If anyone has anything to add to these pros and cons, please share
