I have the TRZ poly mount and my 3.25 still hits the cowl. It hits especially during hard 1-2 and 2-3 shifting. Granted it isn't hitting a hard as it might have with the stock mount in there, but It's still hitting. I'm taking the shroud out this weekend and will cut off the corner like Bioevolve did. I don't want to deal with a cracked cowl and would rather just cut the inch or so off. easy beezy

I have a SU TMIC and so far so good. Definitely potential 20whp with my mod list and tune...Well worth the money..The factory TMIC is a Flimsy POS !! It was the same Engineer who designed the Factory inlet pipe....Fire Him Now.:AR15firing:

You can see what I gained going from the stock TMIC to a FMIC here:

Basically, if you are already tuned to max out the stock turbo, then the gains will be minimal. The choke line on the right of the turbo's compressor's efficiency curve dictates the power potential.

Here is a good example of the stock intercooler vs the ETS top mount.
