no need for a fmic with a stock turbo, in cali we got guys getting 400whp with a nice tmic setup, if you are going 20g and up go for the fmic but it will cause lag and no need on anything smaller. IMP, but it's you car and you can do what you like, the fmic does look bad *** on the 09's though

Yeah, for a month I was using a TXS FMIC while I waited for my dom 3xtr to come in. And well it was okay on the stock turbo but I definitely felt the lag. With the older WRXs you can run the stock TMIC, but with our TMIC we have to watch it with our power and boost because I have blown my endtanks off at a simple stage 2 setup. But I would say if you are going to get a 20g or so I'd say get a TMIC as an anticipatory mod so that or get a Process West TMIC.
