whats better

[DanielSon-gtt]

wats better between a front mount or a double capasity standard place jobby as friday im buying eather one depending on what ones better

[Ash-Lee]

I would say front mount, less likely to get heat soak then one under the bonnet. But you loose the standard look usually.

Depends what kit you go for, the double caps are ok & do the job but I like the FMIC look.

[r5gttraider]

you can fit a huge fmic and still sit it behind the bumper and grill, but defently a fmic is better, as more air flow over it and also less likly to soak heat from engine as ash says

But don't forget about carb freeze in the winter

Block off a part of the intercooler in cold weather, used to do it to a fezzi I had that overcooled in the winter.

When mine 1st did it all I had was a mat so I stuffed that in front of the cooler

Well the intercooler I had Chris managed to fit behind his standard bumper with minimal cutting of the cross member... Fidos raider is his online name..

Just take your time, measure twice and cut once!  :lol:

I found mine was a ballache, getting it in the right position. Bumper will be on and off and on and off. Best to get an extra pair of hands, someone to hold the bumper in the correct position while you peer behind and see what needs trimming and how to actually mount the intercooler itself to the body of the car.
