tmic or fmic
i have a mint v4 sti
totally standard except exhaust
but tmic is past it sell by date( totally f@@ked)
two questions really...???
question 1
get another tmic and leave a mint car alone
or
question 2
choose a fmic kit like the audi boys, small and hidden.
that way i get a clean engine bay and dont have to cut the bumper up..
whats your guys input...???

FMIC can be less hassle than fitting a newage STI top mount in a classic.

Nice bit of kit.... Mickywrx
But a bit out of price range... Still doing engine rebuild
Didn't want to ruin the look of it.
So thought stealth I,cooler
Pipe work will need to be made-up.
Not to worried about lag as can always add a bit of boost and a map.
And will be fitting fuel pump and other bits first..
It might be standard but it's an old car with original parts so they won't last long

fmic cause some lag but thats depending on turbo fitted and mapper, 350 bhp and less defo keep tmic without question. thats my opinion and i have gone down the front mount route discovered its ok thats all, big bhp 400-800 then fmic.

If your Sti is mint and you don't plan in modifying heavily I'd say try to source a better condition replacement.
That intercooler will still allow 310hp ish which is still a swift motor!
