Interesting thread. I have an 08 Sti and am thinking of getting a TMIC. But I have a few questions. Firstly, do bar and plate coolers suffer more from heat soak? Why don't process west TMIC's have the mounts for the metal fuel rail looking pipes on the front edge and are they important? And lastly, the Torx Racing TMIC looks just as good. Does anyone run one?

Torx Racing Top Mount Intercooler Subaru STI 2008-2012

Mods are CAI and TBE. Will be reflashed to suit change of cooler.

Thanks for your help
