Both? FMIC AND TMIC?

I was wondering if you can have a after market TMIC and a FMIC? would that work? or only 1 of them?

ehhhh maybe
dont forget that TMIC's are subject to heatsoak since they lay practically on top of the motor
so if you had both FMIC and TMIC..the FMIC will cool it and if the TMIC is heatsoaked it will make the charge hotter thus defeating the purpose of having the FMIC

so just get the FMIC

answer is yes you can have both FMIC and TMIC....

the thing is.... I'm not sure if the pipes will fit in the engine bay.. here's an example

However, I belive that which is mentioned above ^^ is for a twin turbo set up, thus needing 2 intercoolers.

Man I could see a potential for alot of lag, Just thinking about it I guess you could do it if you hooked both intercoolers in series but the engine bay would be crazy with hoses not only that but you probably wouldnt be able to fit a decent size tmic.

Just get a air to water intercooler. Then you will be much cooler, but I guess weight is an issue then.
