v-mount intercoolers

anybody have experinces w/ a v-mount intercooler/radiator setup??? i have been looking for one for the subies and thyre finally available but the intercoolers seem kind of small so i dont know if its going to be feasible in getting one if im going to upgrade my turbo, also do they require cutting the bumper supports? none of the sites say anything about that.

thanx.

Don't forget the vented hood too

Although the v-mount set up is sick as hell, it's more feasible to do a standard front mount set up. I doubt you'll feel much difference bettween the two different versions. The only reason to do a v-mount is because it's very rare and cool to look at.

No, a V-Mount is supposed to allow for greater airflow over both the radiator and the IC, as opposed to cold air thru the IC then warm air thru the rad.
