a top mount is a good to a point. it would be a good improvement over the stocker, but if you do a lot of "stop-light pulls" or 1/4 mile racing then the TMIC will just heat soak when you are sitting waiting for your turn to go down the 1320. a FMIC will get rid of all of those heat soaking problems and give you a bit more power, at the cost of a little turbo lag. the way i see it, if it takes a little relocating of some parts and/or cutting some parts to make my car run better then so be it. YOU GOT TO PAY THE COST TO BE THE BOSS.

the best fmic's have short piping with piping diameter matched to your engine/turbo application. A lot of these fmic's have piping that the diameter is too large. See if you have any custom fab shops in town that can do something that flows better as a custom project for you
the mazda was designed to use a tmic however

order yourself some smaller pipes... (eek2) if it matters that much to you thats the first thought that came to my mind...
so? it does not mean it has to keep one.

+1 on the "not having to keep the tmic" im going FMIC pretty soon, and im going to go 2'' from turbo to IC and the 2 1/2'' from IC to throttle wich should reduce the turbo lag.

Yup, only takes asking to get smaller diameter pipes and the necessary reducers! 
Another point that I would like to make is that shorter piping is also going to include cutting your frame and removing/relocating a lot more than a washer fluid tank.. I studied that all this morning on my car trying to find another way to route the piping for shorter length LOL. I don't feel like having the removal of a crash bar and cutting of holes in the frame a necessity for having a FMIC kit. It needs to offer the performance advantages without compensating safety. You may not think you'll have a head-on crash.. until you actually do. /end rant.

worst rant ever.
rants are not supposed to sound nice or be well mannered and punctuated. fail.
lol.
why such small piping pre IC? why not just go 2.25 the whole way?
