IMO: the gains arent worth the cost until you get a larger turbo (since you already have a STi TMIC). Even then, one could debate that meth injection with the stocker could be a better route.

do you have a water sprayer? if not i would invest in that befor i bought an after market TMIC.

but when going with a bigger turbo, this is a must in most cases

Considering he has an STi, I would have to say there's a 97% chance he has a water sprayer. That's with a 2 sigma confidence interval.

Spend that money on some form of alky/meth/h2o injection. Best bang for the buck, but you will need to get tuned for it.
