Default Advice for next power upgrade

Hi all
After some advice on my next plans for the car

I am wanting to get about 360'ish bhp

My list of planned mods are:

SC36 turbo
550cc injectors
Fuelab FPR
Remap
(possibly getting a 5 speed PPG later down the line)

I currently have ESL mapped in, and my engine is fully forged so hopefully can withstand that kind of power.

However i want to keep the standard TMIC. i know some will say that a FMIC is the way to go, but i really am trying to keep it as 'standard' looking as possible, plus i prefer how top mounts look. If needs be i can get a FMIC but just seeing what others would advise. To fit a newage TMIC is a bit of a PITA on a V3 - or so i've heard.

Would my top mount be able to cope with the above? And do i need to factor in anything else?

Cheers all

why not go for a black front mount and some custom hidden pipe-work?

yer sounds like a good idea. i've seen some nice FMIC painted black that hide them quite well at a glance.

Think Japspeed ones will do nicely and they seem to have a good rep. Fairly cheap, and should do the job fine i think. Only pain is the cutting of front bumper, then again the fins that need cutting out do look tired on my car, so could well be a good thing lol
