Default tmic or fmic

please i need some info and some advice

car is bugeye wrx
current turbo running it a VF35 mapped at 306bhp
(mapper said i can't do any more cos of current car is not taking air properly ..)

i'm considering a STI tmic or 3rd party one,
however i have been told its better with a fmic! temperatures is cooler???

if i remember correctly a while ago i seen it somewhere that if the car is not going for mid 300bhp , its pointless with FMiC due to it may produce some/alot turbo lag

im not over 350 and i dont get any turbo lag while running fmic. and i am running dv less which probably aids me with not loosing any pressure. but it depends on how high you wanna go in the future

my intake temps were around 32deg the other day.

fmic is defo the way forward my v3 sti tmic ran out of puff around 320-330 hp i know the newer models are better but for the price its worth getting a fmic plus looks good and also if u decide in the future u want more power the fmic will always be up to the job good luck with ur decision
