Mrt Top Mount

Is it worth doing the new MRT top mount or should i go w/the front mount? the reason i'm asking is because my parents can't know about it for a while, so i was just goin to do the mrt top mount w/the factory turbo for a lil while, and then go w/a bigger turbo in a couple months. what's everyone's opinions?
FMIC?
TMIC?
wait for bigger turbo?

also will i see any good gains just from the TMIC? (i have MBC,MRT turbo back)
thanks

Save your money. Get an uppipe, and have a flywheel installed. That should be in the same price range and you'll definetly have a gain in the performance of your car.

Your stock IC can handle some 250+HP to the wheels which works out to over 300HP+ at the crank. I know a new IC looks cool, but it's a waste until you get a bigger turbo and some form engine managment.

Yeah, what he said. Go with your stock TMIC with your stock turbo.
