I disagree that it is a cost saving thing.

For a normal street driven ~300hp Subaru a GD or GR STi TMIC is more than enough.

Standard WRX and GC8 TMIC are poo.

Yes, however, the turbos/mapping are chosen with the little bit of extra lag due to longer intercooler pipes already designed in. With a Subaru if you change top mount to a front mount you go "oh wow, lag ahoy" because that's what you've got to compare it too.
