Cosworth head gaskets
Rcm head studs
Turbo dynamics mdx 450

Im only having it done because i dont think much of the place that did the map thats on it (i think its a generic map). I would rather pay to have a remap for piece of mind. If it makes more it makes more if not them ok. I think it could do a bit better though

that's fair, just to note though, the harder a turbo works the more heat it produces which has a dramatic effect on how much boost and power is had.

Is right but nobody seems to grasp the wider picture.
I've given up trying mate, people seem to forget how much actual research/testing people like harvey smith did into the subject rather then me expert mate on fb says. Bit like people saying front mounts cause lag, well they do if you do a **** poor setup and map on them.
I run an 03 wrx sti type uk, on 180,000 miles, standard E207 block, SC42 billet turbo, 850 injectors, gt spec headers, standard sti top mount, 3" Miltek, K&N under bonnet induction kit, mapped using Ecutek, running 1.45 bar, 406bhp and I have not blown my engine up despite it being a daily drive, used as a sprint car, and hill climbs. It is tracked quite a few times in a year and guess what, I have had no engine problems and it has been like this for the last 80, 000 miles.
I think too many people get hung up about top mounts. Oh one other thing, the car has been running in southern Spain for the last 6 months where it is a lot warmer than the uk.
I'm sure someone will know, hence asking. Can anyone please confirm if the MY15 onwards top mount will easily fit on a MY03 JDM STI please? Anyone know how much more efficiency you get with the MY15 onwards in relation to the MY03??? I'm not after huge power, I'm after 400bhp but would live with around 420bhp. I know my current TMIC will do that but I'm always interested in getting there more efficiently before I right off the TMIC idea & go FMIC. Thanks to all 👍🏼

The current engine has done 120,000 miles (80k at 400+) and has never been apart so no rebuilds. It was on the dyno recently and it has not lost any power, had the map checked and now running 408bhp. I use only Millers 10/50 and change the oil every 10k despite the hard life the engine has had. Did forget to mention the exhaust is ceramic coated and wrapped which really does make a big difference to under bonnet temperatures. Top mount is coated in gold heat reflective tape along with the heat shield around the air filter as every bit helps the intake temps.
