Question i need your opinion

i have an 05 sti, just had it a year and have been modding it the whole time. the list of mods are. turbo xs tbe, gpmoto equal leght headers, fp green turbo, turbo xs utec, hallman mbc, perrin modified injectors, walboro 255lph pump, process west oil cooler, unorthodox pulleys, xs eng. ingnition booster. i think thats all the engine mods so far. i want to stay with a top mount set up and still have the stock sti top mount. will getting a bigger top mount make that much of a diffrence or minimal. i like to save up the money and work on the supension if the change is not worth it. suggetions on the intercooler on anything. thanx.

I also have an '05 STI with somewhat similar engine mods: 20G, 860 Helix, Gruppe-S unequal length jet coated headers, Big MAF, Walbro 255, and Perrin crank pulley. I added the Spearco TMIC, and you should probably expect 15-20 whp-tq. Spearco is a top of the line TMIC and the largest bolt on TMIC. However, it's about $850 parts.
