Ya but you can only run so much intercooler on top of the engine.
You can put a massive intercooler out front or run a Vmount that would be more efficient than the top mount..Also with the Different turbos out there Lag is not really a problem.

I too am looking to do a V-Mount. What is a good V-mount kit? Has anyone done the Greddy one? The new HKS one looks massive. But the prices are a bit high on those kits. I figured that the V-mounts are good for cars that are in hot areas like Texas.

This thread is really elementary/misinformed. This is all also covered extensively elsewhere.
Bottom line: V-mount if engineered properly is the most effective solution. the problem is this involves a significant amount of engineering/ducting/routing to get the air flow to the radiator and intercooler correct.
FMIC: simple and effective. Cons: decreased effectiveness of radiator and longer tubing
TMIC: crap. Heatsoak FTL. Stock piping is inefficient.
