Coming from owning 3 modified Subarus I will tell you when you turn the boost up 5-6 psi, add uppipe, downpipe and tune. The TMIC will get heat soaked too fast for mine or my tuner's liking, getting adequate air and flow to the IC would make the clean shape of the production version gaudy.

FMIC is the way to go, easier to work on the car and allows for better design of aero flow of hood.
