does any body have pics of how they mounted a FMIC

and where is a good place to get one w/out paying $1000(links please)

whats the best size, i am thinking around the 600-700 hp range(i know this is high, but i don't want to have to buy one twice, i want to get a good one now while i have the $ so i won't have to get a bigger one someday when this is no longer my daily driver)

The front mount intercooler does look good but someone argued that it introduces
more lag in the response because of the longer induction to throttle body path
the air travels. On our cars the examples I've seen always seem to have the pipework running over the exhaust manifold which defeats the purpose of cooling the air to begin with.


Do you mean "over the manifold" like this picture of Itchy's setup?

My understanding is, after the air passes through the intake, to the turbo fan- then it goes over the exhaust manifold (yes, heating it up), then passing through the intercooler which then goes to the TB- not passing over the manifold again.

Would it be best not to pass over the exhaust manifold in the first place? Yes. Does it really matter given the order of things? I doubt it. The turbo heats up the air a lot in the first place!
