Keep My Big TMIC Or Go FMIC?

[apkarian100]

So my 2002 WRX has STI pinks, TD05H 16g turbo, full turboback, and some other things. Since I've bought my car, I think I've taken my big APS TMIC off about 4-5 times so far in the 2 months I have owned it. It's getting old. So I'm thinking of possibly going FMIC. With a FMIC, now I have more access at things in the engine bay, some aesthetics, and the support for more power later. I understand I could get some lag, but how bad is it really going to be? Also thinking too, later down the road, I want to do a hybrid engine swap, maybe bigger turbo, who knows.

So what say you?

Yay or nay?

ive seen plenty of cars make over 350whp on a big top mount. Id leave it alone.

Meyagi's building me an EJ25/FP Green on a TMIC for the WRX, it should easily hold 325WHP, research shows.

And (Yay!) with less lag!

Go with a TMIC, imo.

yes, stay with the big TMIC. especially with a 2.0 the lag would make it less fun.

Big TMIC it is.

eBay TMIC @ $125ish FTW, IMO.
