Default Changing wrx tmic to an sti one

Morning

Fancy an sti top mount for my gb270 I know there isn't any real benefit but they do look better

Are they a straight swap if I get one from a hawk?

There is a benefit, even if you don`t remap, in terms of charge temps, but also throttle response off boost, I understand. I`m about to do this, but would like to know if the STI red y pipe end reaches the turbo, as all of the US of A vid tutorials suggest it doesn`t ?

I fitted one to my wrx, a fiddle with the brackets but no problem with the hose.
