Hey guys,
Just wondering if its worth upgrading the TMIC with the stock turbo ? Or if its not worth the money. I was thinking of buying this one ?

The upgrade TMIC seems to be missing mounting points for some peripheral equipment.

What do you with those bits?

Otherwise, not a bad investment if you're getting your car tuned and the boost is being increased.

If not, then I wouldn't bother as the stock TMIC tube/fin design is more efficient than the bar/plate design for cooling efficiency.

Double-sided tape, cable ties... :D

Stock turbo, not worth it
bigger turbo, do it properly, go FMIC.
