I'm using the SSAC TMIC

Pros:
Inexpensive compared to other aftermarket tmic's
Its friggin HUGE
Doesn't ever get nearly as warm as stock tmic, usually cool to the touch after running
Comes with a free bov

Cons:
Fitment is not perfect, need a smaller tb hose and have to trim silicone turbo elbow
Its not light thats for dam sure

im using an ssac fmic, works perfect, i love it.

fitment sucks, it took a ton of time to line up and cut everything up. but in the end it was well worth the price.

i had no fitment issues with my 06 wrx. the only real problem was i couldn't keep my washer fluid, but i'm sure i could have made it work. i was just too lazy to try and get it to fit in there.

imho, perrin = overrated, ssac is a very close match to the perrin front mount, especially for the price, save the extra 1000 and put it towards a bigger turbo.

i know you guys werent talking about front mounts, but ill throw it out there anyways.


oh yah, left you a trader rating to!! Thanks again!!

The wing looks super clean!!! im glad it finally got a home instead of sitting at my house. I took your advice at checking the clamps and hoses and i think it help actually. its hard though because i never really drive to fast so i tend to forget lol.
