Hey I'm swapping out my td04 for a VF52 and hoping to swap top mounts to a 05' STI Tmic has anyone had experience with changing top mounts to a stock STI in that age range (04-07) ?

why? like just the look?...or cause its free? etc.
just wondering....not bashing. haha. just cause its already gonna be tough, but then youre throwing a VF52 on there...which is going back the other direction fitment wise. as in, it would make more sense to do that tmic with like a vf48 or something.

either way....youd have to at least get an sti intake manifold, with the throttle body and all.
check out @Tezzating 's thread, with his white SH.

What is the end goal that you have in mind? If you are just looking for a little more power you wouldnt need to swap the TMIC. I have an upgraded vf52 on my car with all the bolt ons making 295 whp and I could still run the stock TMIC if I wanted too. The more info you can provide us with what you are looking to do with the car or what the end goal you have would be helpful.

id just keep your oem tmic then. unless you get a good deal or one that will bolt right on, or "have" to buy one, for one reason or another. just get one that is for 08-14 wrx or 09-13 fxt. save yourself the additional hassle.

no ones but dyno is going to feel a difference in 5-10 whp. say if youre just shy of literally "300".
