Default TMIC replaced gc8

replaced stock tmic with process west top mount yesterday. big change, turbo spoofs up faster and alot louder than before. (sounds good) psi increase was 12 now 14 which it should be. is that normal for intercooler replacement or stock topmount, pipes,etc. stuffed .

very happy with process west top mount totally worth $$$

Does the intercooler come with anything else? Cold air intake perhaps?

I wouldn't have thought a cooler would change boost/noise unless you had a problem with the old cooler.

But good to see someone happy with one!

What year GC8 btw?

Lot's of people 'happy' with them.

I'm still waiting for proof they are better than a GD STi unit.

Not every ECU can be re-tuned

I think the general thoughts are the GD is better, my money is on the PW, and I am extremely happy with mine..
