no benefit whatsoever. will be laggy and you would need to pay £600+ to have it remapped. No point unless your going for 450+bhp

My mates fitted a fmic to his 05' sti with an induction kit and exhaust,your gonna need a remap with the fmic,he's noticed an increase in lag but the inlet temp has dropped substantially,if your going for further mods ie 350+bhp its worthwhile but below that an uprated top mounts probably a better choice
