Don't bother !
Buy the cheapest possible but don't conect it ! TMIC is fine up to stupid horsepower. Looks really nice tho' but a bugger to keep clean....

P.S. I did it and it ain't all as standard, sadly needs looking at further....

i agree, wate of money/hassel etc etc unless you are going over 400bhp. Above that the top mount is not suitable due to smaller surface area, less coling effect and higher boost temps.
Only problem with top mounts is when you stop they pick up alot of heat from engine bay/turbo etc etc....
Front mounts also suffer from increase lag as you have more piping etc to fill back up to desired boost level every time you change gear(unless you run without dumping air)
They also generally involve cutting bits (Not always) of you bumper beam.
Maybe somthing to think about if your not going above 400bhp.??
