    how do **** do u lose hp if u add a FMIC? I will be new to turbo thing, so i will need alot of lessons on how to do the build the right way. And if i put a large tubo, wont i need a FMIC to support it. Well again, NEW to turbo stuff.

    Eh... Depends. Top mounts you'll have better throttle response but heat soak can be an issue, FMIC (or any IC for that matter) buy a quality one and you'll have no troubles. You cannot be cheap with a turbo car and expect it to

    A.) last
    B.) give you the hp gains you're looking for
    C.) be reliable

    on a stockish setup the topmount makes more power with the shorter travel for piping (?). you dont need the frontmount until you get quite a few more upgrades and you need something to get things much cooler. i remember this because i was looking at WRX's before I got my teggy
