He just bought a Bug STi - quoted as 470bhp - but it has a TMIC - I thought you needed an FMIC for anything over 350bhp? Hope it's genuine! It's been tuned down to 400 to save the gearbox

Not sure if he has joined on here yet too

Andy Forrest runs the original TMIC on his Spec-C with about 470bhp/520lb/ft, so the newage TMIC seems to be quite capable. Sounds like quite a car you've bought though, nice one! What's the spec? is it still a 2.0 litre? UK or JDM?

[pmacFTO]

It's not mine - a guy on type R Scotland bought it. Good news tho - will get him to join and post up spec
