[QUOTE=KaiFD3S]I have the medium v-mount on the car right now but just sold it to go with the monster v-mount set up since I am going single....this is the best set up that I have ever used and will never go with a different set up...

I love to hear that. Now I don't feel so bad about springing for the $2000++ setup. Thanks for the input. Have you used any other setup (other than the v-mount)?

It seems to me if you went through all that trouble you'd dump the stock radiator and make a custom one that didn't use the stock rad hose outlets.

The IC placement looks OK, try the ASP airpump friendly IC pipe to eliminate the tight bends on the hot side of the IC.

I'm also hoping that you're going to fabricate some ducting to keep the air from simply flowing past the radiator/IC. Otherwise all that work you did will be useless. You can't just plop a heat exchanger any old way in front of the airflow and expect that airflow to want to run through it...

For the first person willing to polish and use the new airpump pipe with a front mount / Vmount, meaning you'll have to fab up a short section of tube for your particular IC, and post pictures so people can see how it works and eliminates bends, I'll sell them a tube for half price $67 + shipping. Just one person : )

Agentspeed - you sold me on that bumper guard, when I saw you post on the other forum I ended up buying one from Chuck to, Sorry dont mean to be a biter since my car is white also...
I don't hate, I love white 7's. It's the best color IMO! Good choice.

I have use a FMIC and SMIC..overall the v-mount gave me the best results as far as water temps, intakes temps it is not that much off from a FMIC,,you will love it when you get it....
