No plans for a TMIC here. Go with ProtegeGarage or Auto EXE. It looks like Ken has the better price and he is a supporting vendor.
I am VERY tempted to try one of these by the way but paying off the car in full has left me broke as can be.
Wanna trade for one Ken?

trades, eh
pm me with some ideas and i will surely consider it. you will not be disappointed.Even with the FMIC options comming out, an upgraded TMIC still sounds nice.
FMIC Pro's
-less heat soak
-better opertunity for cooling
TMIC Pro's
-less expensive
-easier to install
I think once, some people out there have this TMIC and we can see some consistant gains, it will be a popular upgrade, because it is cheaper and easier to install than a FMIC.

Not that i could get one yet as the Masda 3 MPS only gets released in January here, but would you ship to the UK?
I was suprised. Everything on this car comes apart pretty easily.
here are pictures of the uninstall. Just waiting for for the new one to come in.

Well if you're asking me Elderly it's this TMIC
http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123650856
which is the whole point of this thread, if not from the shear ease of installation, especially for someone new like yourself, but the great price for such a great gain.
Rule is 100$ per 1 hp on 4 cylinder cars like these. 20hp x 100$ = $2,000.00 - cost = $1,450 Looks like you're breaking the norms by. Looks like you're saving 1,450$ more than most cars would have to do to get near the gains. If you are actually worried about heat soak on a SCCA national event with this thing giving you a drop in 5 hp after 3 heats, you need to rethink your pit procedures between heats.
Regardless Elderly, http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123650856 will getcha what you need

I have an extended warranty so i'm not interested in voiding it, It's pretty simple to swap out? i'm no mechanic.
also i'm not really looking to go to any events any time soon. whats its performance on the street?

Yeah, it's ridiculously easy to install, something like 30 minutes of work, requiring only simple hand tools, don't even need to jack up the car or nothing. Not to mention the part couldn't be located in a better place for access in the engine bay. Even if somehow how you still can't figure out how to install it, anyone who knows how to change oil most likely has the mechanic know how to bolt this bugger on
I will be posting a how to as SOON as I get it. Should be tomorrow *crosses fingers* hopefully it will help you in your decision.Equinox said:Yeah, it's ridiculously easy to install, something like 30 minutes of work, requiring only simple hand tools, don't even need to jack up the car or nothing.

Since you guys are Autoexe vendors and you don't even mention their TMIC, should we assume it is prohibitively expensive? Or it's just not compatible with your selling your own FMICs?
Edit: n/m found it. Looks nice but that's a lot of moolah for sharp looks. I guess the welds on the ETS don't look so bad afterall.

Not to bad mouth the AutoEXE TMIC, as it's a very beautiful piece, but the pictures you see of the ETS TMIC on ProtegeGarage are of the prototype version which was taken apart quite a few times. Those pictures are going to be replaced very soon with the final version of the TMIC which is much cleaner in appearance!
