v6 sti intercooler
getting my car mapped end of month.
ive got chance of a sti v6 intercooler.
will a remap be required for intercooler swap?
car is a uk my00 - tbh is a sti intercooler worth while doing? ie is spending 100 quid justified?
thanks.

Been there and done that. For £100????, not on your nellie.
I ended up with a FMIC. If I was gonna stick top mount then a new age STi item is the only place I'd be

I think you've made the right decision.
I'd also advise not going much over 300bhp with a TMIC, plus see if you can fit an intake temperature monitoring device, I have one on mine, even with an FMIC. They are cheap and cheerful, plus easy to fit.
Why do I recommend one? because I cooked my engine playing with a Celica GT4 on a french motorway, arrived at a toll booth and heat soaked it, destroyed the bottom end. And that was an STi V6 intercooler on a 300bhp classic.
