[QUOTE=Latka;2155418]How would it mess 'ya up? I always thought it'd be better 'cause there's more intercooler exposed to Mr Air and whatnot. Then again... I don't work for NASA and whatnot.[/QUOTE]



when i went with a front mount the turbo lag was pretty bad on the stock turbo (vf39)... well to me it felt pretty bad... i hated it...


nice scoop delete dan, i gotta see this in person!

Ahhh... ok. I didn't even think about that. More space to fill up and all that.

[QUOTE=Ditchhanger;2155248]it looks great...I was thinking of going with a front mount and getting this, but I'm afraid that the front mount will mess me up at SCCA[/QUOTE]

the lag aint that bad but wit how tight our courses here are it wont help thats for sure... for everyday driving nothing dropping down another gear wont help ;)

With the right kind of tuning and depending on who your tuner is, you can lessen your turbo lag, Ryan tuned my UTEC so i got faster boost response at a lower RPM. You can probably get your low end to be more aggressive also. :D

^^^yup!! after my tune it spools just as fast if not faster than with the TMIC

Ya when you think about it, it's a better design to have air flowing in the front and out the top, cuz u don't wanna be forcing hot air down with a top mount right? hot air rises, let it rise out the hood like the evo :)
