Default Front mount ?

Hi guys,
I have a 2005 wrx with tmic and a hks d/v .. And I am going to go down the route of fmic ! I just wanted to know if I can use my hks d/v with a front mount or will I need a new d/v ?
Cheers

If you're still on the std Turbo, don't bother going to FMIC. Not worth it at this stage!

Better to upgrade to the STi 8 intercooler.

As above mate.

But the answer is yes, you will probably need an adapting plate depending on the pipes you have

As above. If the car is otherwise standard you don't need a front mount.
Reusing your HKS BOV is very simple with a BOV flange adaptor. £26.50.

I just happen to have a woodruff key in my pocket if that is all you need but if the shaft is damaged best get a woodruff key and pulley from whoever is going to fix it. Pity you are not closer.

Most people say,its not worth to go for FMIC,i've run both on mine WRX with TD04,no additional lag,if its FMIC properly mapped.

Second,if you will go for STi TMIC you will pay same money for FMIC,you can fit alone FMIC its not hard,but can be done.

I would advise/recommend after fitting drive off the boost and get your car mapped for these changes

Without the scoop and undertray for the New Age TMIC you will not get it to work anything like efficiently.
If you do not need a remap when fitting an FMIC it has not made enough difference to need additional fuel for more power.
