Picked up a new TMIC off of adam07specb, he got a new front mount.
Perrin TMIC and recirc valve, both in black. The valve is copper RTV'd to the top mount, it's sealed so well we didn't want to break it:

Might not look it but this thing is significantly bigger than the stock one (cast end tanks instead of plastic too):
vs stock:

My only issue now is the chimney doesn't allow good airflow over the entire face. The STI chimney is about $150 so I'm trying to find an alternative.

Fitment is great, was a pain in the ass to put in due to no wiggle room from being so large. But once in and everything connected it sealed up and lined up fine.
