FMIC ftw. Get it done properly. Flip the cooler and run the pipes under the headlights. 2 inch hot side pipe and 2.5 inch cold side.

Its barely any laggier than a TMIC because the piping is short and small diameter. And will give heaps of headroom for future mods.


If you're a tightarse, chuck on a good second hand 02-07 STI TMIC unit. Go for a 08+ STI if you can find one. They will happily support up to 250kw atw when combined with the correct air splitter shroud under the bonnet.

Why is it only wrx owners who fap over this perceived lag issue with fmics?

cause wrx's dont have 100mm long exhaust headers.

Stick the radiator in the boot, low mount the turbo and fill the radiator space with a cooler and flip the manifold. No lag, lots of power

Plus my old car is still in the neighbourhood. Actually closer to your house then it used to be!

looking at chucking my vf34 back on the wrx with a power fc when i get it back from the panel shop in 1 thousand years (full re spray thanks to hail ) and im torn between a front mount or spending money on a good ProcessWest TMIC with splitter.
