tmic question

anyone know where i can buy a tmic that will replace the stock TII intercooler, im going to run a to4 hybrid and i don't think that the stock tmic will hold 14psi. i don"t want to upgrade to a fmic but i know that there has to be somewhere where i can buy a tmic that will replace the stock one. thanks for the help

check ebay, HKS and ARC top mounts pop up sometimes. Expect to pay at least $300 for one. I currently am running the ARC. Be prepared for alot of people telling you how bad TMICs heatsoak (which they do) and such.

i resently put a fmic on it was a bitch but in the long run i am glad i did it. but it is a little more money but youll have to do it sometime if you wanta run close to a bar, just go front mount your turbo will take you with a lot of cold air in your engine.

i'm confused, you said you wanted it so you could run the hybrid. IMO, ditch the idea and go VMIC OR FMIC, the heatsoak from the top mount is one main problem and most of the performance top mounts still appear to be undersized for even a moderately sized hybrid.

I have no idea what you mean here...

Don't waste your money on upgrade TMIC's. The intercooler's performance will still be seriously compromised by it's location, not only because of heat soak (fit an intake air temp display; you'll be shocked) but because you're not increasing the amount of cooling air passing through the core.
