OE STI TMIC will be good enough for your needs,but if I would go I would go with HDi or Japspeed FMIC
About the TMIC,speak to Chevron about their TMIC,but they're expensive and not sure if this worth

at 400 there will be gains on a front mount in peak and also reliability by going front mount to prevent heat soak. gains start from around 300.

back to the tmic, the sti ones out perform most of the expensive branded tmics, some guy did a test with a charge temp gauge, you need one if youre staying tmic. a cheapo japspeed one isnt going to be better than the sti one guaranteed, even if its the size of a house.

Your ECU can run SD(Speed Density),contact Open Source mappers and ask them

To answer some of your questions :
1. With the right supporting mods and properly mapped with Ecutek your MAF will support 400 bhp and beyond.
I actually have an aluminium MAF tube of bigger diameter, which will take your MAF sensor and give you a lot more headroom. It takes your existing MAF sensor and is complete with K+N filter, jubilee clip etc. £115. All brand new.
2. The SC46 7cm is certainly not a laggy turbo easily capable of 450 bhp on V-Power with all supporting mods and typically making 1 bar at 3300 rpm in 4th. (The supporting mods are important). The SC46 8cm spools later on a 2 litre but is ideally suited to a 2.5 litre.
3. It is unlikely you are getting much gain from the existing TMIC. I have found that the move from an STi 8/9 TMIC to an efficient Hybrid FMIC becomes worthwhile around 380 bhp. In a specific example I gained 9 bhp from the swap STi 8 TMIC to Hybrid FMIC and a further 9 bhp from mapping. Not only is the charge temperature important, 10 deg. C = 3% power but the pressure drop across the core is also important.
It is important you have the right supporting mods to get the best from your map or you will need a further remap when you make additional changes and you should think carefully about headers and uppipe.
Best wishes from a very warm Turkey. 38 C in the shade after midday.
