its quite possible that if a turbo was in use, they went with SMIC to keep weight down and keep a the CoG low as opposed to a TMIC
Maybe, but I think if they were doing an IC and it wasn't a TMIC, it would be a FMIC. Have you looked under the hood? I think they could pretty easily fit a smallish FMIC - there is quite a bit of space in front of the block. And in that pic, it doesn't appear there is a FMIC.
