Joe, I was going to run a STi TMIC on a vf22'd 2.0 in my WRX after speaking with Jerry at Deadbolt and he said it will definitely work. He didn't have to convince me either, he has many clients running this setup. Plus, why pass up the deal you have just to spend way more money?
Mike just wants you to get the FMIC so he can say you copied him. j/k
