    weel you can leave it loose as some do, or you can get a friend to pull the ic until the hole lines up and you can screw the bolt in.

    i need to dig up the articles but i remember reading that the STI TMIC increases cooling capacity over the stock WRX TMIC but it doesnt do much for airflow

    yeah, the airflow is just a s bad in the sti one as far as ive read but colloing is better.. so if you ever get a vf39 ur set!

    i have to disagree i think the sti top mount does wounders for the td04. milo was making close to 265wtq on this setup.
