Pics of my HKS TMIC.
I removed the HKS mount points and added mounts from a stock TMIC to eliminate a direct conduit for the heat from the engine to the TMIC to retard heat soak. I also did this as I needed to slightly re-locate the sit of the TMIC closer to the firewall to center the indentation to my now larger than stock FD alternator.
I added lower heat shielding from a stock TMIC to retard heat soak.
I ceramic coated the heat shielding and end tanks to help retard heat soak. I'm going to also add the stick on insulation discussed in another thread to further help retard heat soak.
I added a lip on either side so it would seal to the stock hood opening. Tomorrow I'll install the foam insulation tape at the perifory of the TMIC to complete the seal.
Final part of my plan will be H2O injection at the compression tube.

How are the Subaru intercoolers vs our Top mounts? Lol
