At first glance, it looks a lot like a stock WRX engine. Very clean.

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.
Purty.

i have another semi- big question...when looking through my parts i found a inter cooler VERY similar to that... cant really tell from the writing but all in all its a beefer top mount.... if i put that on would i have to re tune?? because i know that with piston turbo cars re tuning after those types of mods are ESSENTIAL or potential of blowing the motor pistons, etc are high... however we dont have a piston so do the same principles apply or can i switch to top mount and it be ok?!?

^ I wouldn't change the intercooler without at least taking data to check the tune.

I would have done this LONG ago (back to a stock top mount) but sadly I cannot source a TII hood
I would gladly trade my aluminum NA hood for one
