First of all, any system that retains the stock TMIC is less than ideal as it heat soaks terribly and will serve as a bottle neck in the system since its pretty worthless at higher than stock CFM levels.
Where do you plan to mount this second IC? How will the piping be routed?
Seems like by the time you run all the extra piping to connect the two, you will have as much (if not more) piping as a more efficient FMIC system. (which will be even more than a V-mount.
Im also pretty sure running dual IC's would increase pressure drop as well.

So are you saying that an FMIC is more effiecent than a VMIC? Would you care to back that up with proof or is this just more interenet hearsay from someone who really has no proof or knowledge?

ahhh ok i was going to run it on the right side but i see now that the TMIC acts more as a heater than cooler. scratch that idea then
Question 2:
how can i route the piping so i can keep my accessories?

If you can get a FMIC w/ not many bends and most connections welded, it would be more efficient than a Vmount seeing as it is directly in the airstream, with no restictions, the only reason someone would do a Vmount is because of how much less piping there is so less pressure drop but it is more efficient than a TMIC

Great minds I guess
That being said a VMIC withOUT a ducted hood would probably be as effiecent as a FMIC but still more responsive because of the lack of miles of piping. There is at least one member here running a VMIC with no dropvented hood and he has ZERO problems with IAT's. In fact, just to put an end to all this internet garbage I'm going to do some datalogging and dyno pulls with a stock hood, a drop vented hood and no hood just so we can have some actual data becuase this is certainly not the first nor will it be the last time this was asked.
