It will fit, the WRX is much easier than the STi to fit, you need the mounting brackets as well, and also the BOV and pipework, as well as a new 'splitter' under the scoop.

no the autobahn one I`ve got fitted on mine is a tidy piece of kit. Think they`ve not long been upgraded though so that could be why. Got mine for £205 including delivery to the channel islands

Piece of cake on an RB5 (or any Phase 2 Classic for that matter), there's a good thread in the projects section that covers fitting one to your model of car. In fact, it's so easy it'd probably be more hassle to fit a front mount to your car.

I noticed a massive differnce using a FMIC with the standard TD04, had an Autobahn88 FMIC which i later upgraded to a Hybrid GT Spec.
I found the Hybrid better than the Autobahn88, much less lag.
I wouldn't advise anyone to fit a FMIC if there going to use the TD04, even with bigger TD05/VF34/VF35 etc you'd be better off with a Newage STI intercooler which will work fine up to 400+bhp.

I seem to have less lag now i have the FMIC on??? I can only put it down to a boost leak somewhere on the old TMIC!

There must of been some problem with your TMIC if a FMIC is less laggy, look how much pipe work there is and the size of the intercooler.
Andy F only recomends FMIC's for under 400 bhp on pre 96 cars where a Newage STI won't fit, If i was staying at the sort of bhp i'm running now i'd swap to a TMIC, but i'm planing 450+ so will stick with the FMIC.

I guess its also down to personal preference, i like to know i drive a turbo'd motor and so prefer to feel a build up and then nice hit of power, all associated with a bit of lag, for a day to day driver with torque but no lag i'd probably just buy a large TD motor.
