Ok, wouldn't a bigger IC and more piping equal more space to pressurize. Like on an air compressor with the same size pump, it well take less time to pressurize a 1 gallon tank then a 2 gallon tank. the same concept well apply to a intake system after the turbo.

I'd pick a sti but i like both,
things i like about the sti, nice seats, adjustable headlights, i/c sprayer.
evo i dont really like any of the interior at all, except for the new recaro seats in the evo9.
other than that, sti's cost alot more to make fast, and just changing the plugs is a hassle.

Pretty sure I would sacrifice a 1/10th of a milisecond for much cooler denser air... and I dont know how you can say it only helps going in a straightline, Heat rises, so with a TMIC, you are heatingsoaking all the time..The TMIC on sti's see very little heat soak because of the way exhaust is removed, and the positioning of the actual IC, TMIC on say MS6 would definitely see difference

FMIC doesn't = lag, all the piping required = lag. as you've had to tell yourself many times, every inch counts.

on a subaru (from experience) going to a FMIC from a TMIC did induce a fair amount of lag because of the stupid long pipes needed to get from the turbo to the front mount back to the throttle body.
All things considered if we are talking USDM, the Evo is the best off the show room floor platform, has a ton of research already done in the US market for its motor and therefore is cheaper to mod.
If we are talking overall STi vs Evo in the JDM world, I'll take a Spec-C S202/S203 over just about any other car on the road in a bang for the buck performance platform.

Weighing in from my personal experience i'd prefer either since both blow my car out of the water

haha... the 100-300 rpm differnece or whatever you guys think is going to make the shiet spool slower, is bull shit. just as garberg said you'll never noticed a difference ricing it around.
plus, a FMIC looks cooler... and thats what matters right? shit... u dont see a WRX and are like :omg: its freaking sweet it has a top mount... but if you see a big ass shiny front mount :OMG: sweet a big front mount lol... yeah i know im a ricer.
I like kirk's car alot, it feels cozy or something... evo's feel like DSM's... both are cool but I think i'd take the Evo just cuase... fuck i don tknow it'd prob break but id still be happy?
