Oh and on another note......SMICs FTW.
Yes but if you spend money on decent turbo that is well within it's efficiency range then it will produce far less heat than say a TD04 at 35ish PSI which might be slightly out of its efficiency range![]()
And your "side mount I/C" is still at the front! be pretty pointless if it was actually on the side, like mounted to the door and it would look daft
This is EXACTLY what I've tried explaining to people lol!! I've got a larger SMIC instead of FMIC and most people are like 'thats pointless get an FMIC' :roll: I'll bet I can still make over 180bhp on it.

I still don't get the turbo thing though, OK it'll produce LESS heat, but surely still hotter than ambient temp so you'd still want an IC, albeit a smaller one. :think:
