Default FMIC on a MY93 wrx

Howdy,

is it worth getting a fmic for my 93 wrx?

mods: 3" decat downpipe, 3" exhaust, K+N i/k, Scott T chip running 1.1bar, sti i/c water spray, approx 280bhp.

Or would fitting a newer top mount be better either a v1/v2 sti (slanted) or trying to fit a newer intercooler sayfrom a my2000 wrx/sti?

cheers

p.s if anyone can post the 'fitting newage i/c to an early classic' guide on here that would be appreciated

Thats a good result for a 93 classic on standard top mount.

I'd go fmic as from what I read about fitting newage tmic to early classics, its easier to fit a fmic.

And if your running 280hp on the top mount, then I would definately be looking for a front mount soon

The early 93-96 slanty type intercoolers are good for 310 bhp so i have been told

Check the links MrRa posted.

The late model tmics are better but are an **** to fit.
