More power(300plus bhp) will require turbo (vf35), sti pink injectors, sti top mount IC, uprated fuel pump, a sportcat if you dont have it as part of PPP(or decat), and decatted rest of the exhaust system. That'll give you more than 300 bhp.

Your WRX's internals and gearbox - and the TMIC to an extent - would limit you from getting remapped beyond circa 350/350 (if you're sensible, that is 
).
Therefore a FMIC would be an unnecessary purchase/hassle..... UNLESS.... you drive it on the limiter everywhere or track it lots. In which case a move to a FMIC will significantly reduce AITs and therefore be a very wise (read essential) move.
But for normal use/fast road blats, then the TMIC is fine.
TIP: On a TMIC, just don't do launches if you've been sat idling in traffic/at traffic lights for some time (esp. in hot weather). Drive off boost for about 1/4 mile before opening her up.
