What does a tmic do?

The TMIC avoids a lot of this pressure drop and allows you to maintain throttle response as close to stock as possible. This is also exemplified by the fact that you have a much shorter route from the turbo to the throttle body with a top mount intercooler than with a front mount intercooler.

What is tmic and FMIC?

Tmic is good for stock location turbos, pretty much all of them. You WILL heat soak much faster the larger you go in the stock location. FMIC is meant for rotated setups that are pushing >400whp and are utilizing a larger turbo to do so.

Do you need a tune for a new TMIC?

No, you don’t need a tune.

Why does Subaru use top mount intercooler?

Which Subaru intercooler has better airflow? A top mount intercooler will be more efficient with airflow than a front-mounted, with the only reason being the shorter path from your turbochargers to intake. You’ll get air quicker and sooner, but don’t confuse this with lag, as it is pressurized.

Does a top mount intercooler add horsepower?

It also makes the compressed air denser as it enters the intake manifold, which causes a richer air-to-fuel mix in the engine’s cylinders. The result is increased power output. So, the answer to the question is yes! An intercooler does help to increase horsepower.

Does an upgraded intercooler give more power?

Is a front mount intercooler better?

Generally, the bigger the intercooler core, the better the cooling performance. TMIC cores, due to the size constraints of being crammed in between the top of the engine and the bonnet, can’t be as large as some front mounted intercooler cores, in both frontal area and core thickness.
