depends on your goals and future mods. IMO, FMIC all the way especially here in FL. You will need a retune to take advantage of the full benefits of the FMIC.

Default fmic or tmic?

My 08 sti has made over 500whp on the stock tmic. However, I'm moving up to a Cosworth fmic now. If you are interested in my old tmic, call Bobby at S&R. Imslow is right about needing a retune, so you might want to combine the new ic with any other mods you are considering, to make the best use of your tune dollar.
