TMIC ADVICE!
 

Thinking about fitting a bigger TMIC and some sort of induction kit to my my99 uk turbo. Would i have to have a remap after or is it just a case of fitting them? Any advice would be much appreciated..........:confused:

Yes you should get a remap to take full advantage of the new items.

If you want to benefit from these mods then yes you'll need a remap but you can run the car without.

I ran with an induction kit for a year before having a remap. I then ran for 4 months with FMIC before it was remapped again. And Had no problems.

but unless your going for a FMIC instead of TMIC I'd stick with the standard air box and stick in a decent panal filter. MY99/00 car's love to eat maf's and an induction kit seems to speed up the process.

There was an interesting review of interecoolers in Jap Performance a couple of months back, a Cheap Ebay topmount was worse than the standard one!!! The core of the intercooler wasn't very dense inside.

If I was upgrading my TMIC, I'd be looking at an STI5/6, Fits streight on and is good for 330 or an STI8 which is good for 400BHP but you need to mess around to get this on.

THIS MAY HELP
Good write up and fitting guide for the sti 7/8 top mount

Or we got a group buy going on front mounts depending on how far you want to go with your tune :D

I used the above to fit my STI8 cooler.

Wasn't too hard. Bit of a shock when you first offer it up against the standard IC.

As danny said dont fit an induction kit unless you have to more trouble than its worth:nono:
