I just noticed, and don't ask me why i just now noticed this, but wouldn't the top mount intercooler be better over all. Especially for drag. If you don't follow, you'll notice that there is only half a foot from the turbo to the intercooler, and another half a foot from the intercooler to the intake manifold. That means LOTS less turbo lag. So, wouldn't your gains (at normal psi) be the same from putting all the piping and weight into the front mount intercooler be the same as leaving your top mount, with the at max, foot of piping??????

He was running stock (or so i believe) on the 2nd Gen 3SGTE - which is roughly 8psi. Gutting all cats and aftermarket exhaust cant increase the boost that much, I have aftermarket exhaust & intake and stock for me almost 10. 3rd Gens stock ~12lbs. Who did the install? Did you mess with the TVSV? -------------------- |
