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 -------------------- ![]() i hate snow, missing my celica |

FMIC is NOT better than a properly setup W2A IC system. Yes, it is cheaper, but that is about it. I wont get into my opinion of why anymore then that, so I will let you conduct your own research. Most people seem to talking on opinion rather then the actual physics of how these 2 units actualy work.
Look up turbulent flow, and Reynolds theory....you can then make your decision from there. Here are a few to get you started. turbulent flow Reynolds number Later when I have time I will plot my setup for you so you can see first hand what all these numbers and letters mean. --------------------
