i know this is random and a bit left of field... but which is better...? the sti top mount or an aftermarket one... eg perrin top mount...?

Yet to see any proof of an aftermarket tmic out performing the STi unit (esp. spec c ones).

thought so.. havent heard anything special about aftermarket ones but thought i'll make sure..

might be a noob question ...

everyone raves about the process west TMIC ... how do they go for figures up against an STI?

PW haven't released any comparison figures on their TMIC vs the STI one, common opinion is that its not better

There is no data to release because there is no data...I simply havent done it and dont have the time to do it.

I wish I could but I just dont have the time to go a circuit for the day to do some comparison testing.

Up untill a few months ago the WRX lap record around Eastern Creek Raceway (one of the most demanding tracks in Australia) was using one of my top mounts. (the current fastest WRX uses my front mount).

Just remember a dyno is the worst possible scenario to test a top mounted intercooler....its impossible to simulate the volume of air that goes into the scoop and get accurate results.

When measuring intercooler outlets temps you will see 10+ degrees cooler temps out on the road compared to a dyno.
