Front mount intercooler with no re-map??
As above really, what can I expect with this upgrade on my sti 4. It is standard apart from a cat-back h&s 3' exhaust system.
Will it lean the mixture out, or will the standard ecu self adjust?
Cheers guys and gals

should n't make any difference to the mixture as you will still run the same boost.But you will get more lag (may be you should have stuck with the top mount, with the mods you have done unless you are going for big horses)

It will be perfectly fine. A properly designed FMIC will add almost no additional lag. I have been running a TurboXS FMIC on my stock turbo for several months now. I love it and would never go back to the TMIC. I will be heading to scoobyclinic soon to get it remapped since I have installed a larger turbo and 'pinks' recently.
BTW, stay far far away from those ebay copy of a copy FMIC's. I have installed a few and wasnt impressed.

without a remap you may notice some changes in behaviour with throttle movement, due mainly to the increase in volume. The increase creates a delay in the respone between the manifold and the MAF sensor.
