Mounting the TMIC in the front.
I am currently borrowing my friend's white TII hood(on my black GTUsTII)...as much as I like the TII hood I don't want to
A. borrow a hood and be held responsible if anything happens to it
B. have a white hood on a black car.
My question is: will mounting the TMIC in the front have any adverse effect? If I get custom IC piping(i have no clue where to go or how much it will cost) and mount it in the front will I be able to use the same piping when I get a bigger FMIC? I have an NA hood that I can use so I save the money instead of buying a TII hood..... Any thoughts?

cool...thanks.....I like the "look" of the TII hood but aesthetics isn't my number 1 priority.....I'd rather spend the 700 bux of a CF hood on rebuilding my turbo or getting a BIGGER FMIC, or maybe a standalone etc. etc. Thanks for the tips....I will post prices and progress......Anyone have the design needed for the IC piping? I want it to be as simple/effective as possible which means minimizing bends......anyone have pics or what degree bends are needed? Much appreciated

I would talk to wpgrexx about this, I seen his car the other day and his IC is still top mount, but he just moved it to the front of his hood (requires cutting a hole in your hood if your up for it)

save your money on a bigger fmic and get 2 stock coollers and weld them in sieres.
The stock coollrs are better than any aftermarket. The only problem with a FMIC is air flo to rad.
