OH fmic idea

so i've done some stuff to my car but i dont want to do much more to it. im thinks my final thing should be a front mount. 28x7x2.5. nothing to large. but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to combine both intercoolers. i know about losing boost poressure but the cold air would be great. anyone have suggestions?

No. The pressure drop would be several PSI, and the piping of the stock intercooler would be a restriction.

The whole point of an fmic would be to remove the stock intercooler. Piping would be interesting to say the least.
