front mount or A2W??, i want your opinon Options

[TRD_Ian]

so i have been seeing this alot lately 3s running a front mount and also alot of gt4's with front mounts and got rid of the top mount a2w they had stock. now is this just an issue of money and simplicity? obviously a front mount is real simple and wont set you back as much as a2w ic would but why would you get rid of one if it came on your motor stock?

let me know what you guys think, i plan on boosting my 5s and running a a2w ic system

On a basic 5sfte setup, a FMIC will be cheaper than a W2A setup.
Price aside, a proprly built A2W system can cool your IAT's to below ambient, ( with the use of ice ect...) which a fmic will not be able to do, but, by the same token, once the ice melts, and the coolant of your choice heats up, it won't be able to recover as fast as a fmic will.
IMO I wouldn't use an A2W system unless I was 100% sure I could build a system that would cover my current goals as well as whatever I wanted in the future.
Fmic are cheap these days, and setting up the piping is pretty easy once you take a look around at what everyone is using and plan it out accordingly.
