Upgraded TMICs not generally worth it, only exception for sensible money is the STi 8 one, which is very good, but by the time you've paid for the custom fabrication to make it fit, and associated undertray, bigger bonnet scoop etc.. you may as well get an FMIC like the hybrid! How much do you want to keep things looking stock?
I went to an FMIC on my MY99, wouldn't go back to a TMIC.

The std intercooler will be just about adequate at around what a VF35 can produce, but will struggle on hot days and after being stationary for any length of time.
Have a look at what I did to my MY99 (no cutting necessary at this stage)

Car will feel good at this level, but it may pay to get an ACT gauge to keep an eye on those temps.

Hi mate, i changed my turbo for a vf34, replaced the injectors for pink 550, walbro 255, full exhaust with both cats removed, Sti8 top mount and a ECUTEC remap to my 01 wrx and running 324bhp, just bought a greddy profec boost controller now, just wondered how hard to fit if done urself, any pics?

no didnt fit it my self sorry.
the guy who would do all my stuff did a gd job fits nicly were the ashtray used to be. jolly green what power did it have at the wheels. as when i got my car rr before the boost controller and induction kit. it showed
287bhp at the flywheel
192bhp at the wheels.
was pretty shocked at how much power was lost, im just hoping they put the wrong calculation fig in to get flywheel power.
plus my mate has a leon cupra r and i still cant break free from him on a rolling start.

Can't honestly remember, assuming you're starting from scratch, buying all the parts new and not doing any of the work yourself, I'd figure on around 2-2.5k. But you've got quite a few of the bits fitted already, so significantly cheaper for you!
VF35 is the best spooling turbo for circa 320-330bhp and can be had much cheaper than a VF34.
Have a word with David at APi for advice
