There is much argument on why Subaru did not put tmic on the early cars, all the the up to say 1994 Turbo legacy.

 

The argument goes, it can alow for higher boost if it is cool. But they tend to heatsoak, and then you have hotter air in the intake system. Subaru designed without to keep the air a constant temp.

 

These can be like toasters in hotter summer days.

 

It is probably best to not go with the smaller stuff they tend to heatsoak fastest.

 

For best, go with front mount up by the bumper. Second best in probably the larger ones from the WRX, or watercooled from the older jdm ones. Third best is stock, nothing. 4th best if is the smaller Saab heatsoak stuff.

 

I dont want to knock your want for more boost and power, but please research as much before you invest in something that in the summer, may not work sufficiently. There are always 2 sides to mods.
