Message	place two upgraded side mounts (HKS in my case), side by side. butt em together. then, take your awesome 'looks neat' front mount intercooler behind the 'looks neat' front mount. you will see that they have almost identical fin area. (almost). What is 5% more surface area really gaining you with a fmic? Oh yea, "looks neat". and it doesn't block essential air to your oil cooler, a/c condensor, or radiator. I know, I know, lets mod because it looks neat and the magazine says i should. I like that mentallity. I need to start my own business selling 'looks fast' parts. PETZ (member #003)
