People are always selling their STI tmics. I personally had the SSAC TMIC.

To reap the better cooling benefits of a larger top mount like the sti's, you'll need to swap your wrx air diverter (thing on the underside of your hood scoop) for an sti's or aftermarket's. You shouldn't have to mod anything.

The new STI intercoolers do not have 'STI' on them, they are quite a bit larger than the earlier STI intercoolers, and they're all metal.
