If you want to stay top mount, the newage sti intercooler is a good choice or a hybrid front from harvey. They are a good bit of kit..

TBH beeny, the small slanty ARC ain't gonna flow a great deal more than the OEM one. So you shouldn't get much more than 290-300 I would have thought (OEM one good for c.280).

Even then, your 380cc injectors will be right maxed out, regardless!

Personally, if you still want to retain a TMIC look, then I'd fit one of the best OEM ones available - which will be the Bugeye or Blobeye STi one. These are good for 400+ bhp, so future proofed, somewhat.

There's prob a fitting guide somewhere...
