o alright. i thought the tmic was smaller. but the less plumbing was what i really had in mind tho.

yeah the only thing with the stock TMIC is AIT's...but that can be fixed with a little thing called water injection....or alcohol, lol. I don't think the stock TMIC makes much more power over 12psi because of intake temps and possible flow issues, but for throttle response, boost response, and boost drop as Sam stated, I personally think it's the best way to go.

As far as the intake air temps go, it's not like your staying into the boost all the time. For the "street" power, I'm lovin it. I wouldn't change anything............for now

so ya think a few 15psi pulls won't cause detonation? That's really all I'm worried about by staying with the TMIC.

At 15 psi, don't worry. Like I said earlier, it's not like your staying in the boost for an extended period of time. The problem most people have when going to a front mount is people always go with one too big. If your wanting to go front mount, just don't over do it.

I think the black marks may be mine
