Top or Front??

Sorry! one more question..
I gonna change the intercooler, there are many good brand in the market.
I am looking at Trust or HKS front mount, or ARC top mount and Re-Ameniya top mount,
I think that I can save some buckes on top mount, and I can get a HKS BOV.

Is there a big difference between top and front? I have heard about front can keep coolling longer...

I have no idea...

I am not a racer, still will have a track day in a month. .but i can feel my FC geting **** after long drive in summer.

When you're sitting still the TMIC acts like a chimney for engine heat.
Once you going 30 or more, it works pretty good.

The S5 or J-spec TMIC's flow a little better than the stock S4 TMIC.

For the cost a a custom TMIC, you're better off to go with a FMIC.

Greater than 30 MPH forward wind speed.

The scoop will then force enough downdraft air to cool the IC.
