When you say set up what do u mean? thought it was just a case of piping it up and making sure there are no leaks? Does it require a map/tweak?

The tmic on the early classics is pretty crap though, fmic would be the easiest route rather than a later top mount. I would ditch the baileys dv and get a re-circ valve and this will save you changing it later

What Banny say's is true. I'd personally look for a STi 8 onwards topmount. Works well and you don't have the associated lag that a FMIC will give you.
