Having trouble deciding between a front mount and a stock mount intercooler. I'm reluctant to buy a fmic b/c of installation issues, and blocking flow to the radiator.. can anyone recommend any intercoolers that were easy to install, and performed well?



right now I'm thinking of the greddy stock mount intercooler kit

 

go fmic! i went greddy 3row, my car came with the srx7.com stock mount. it depends what your HP levels are going to be....... i love my fmic !

 

yeah but how big a bitch is it to put in??? do you have to stand the radiator up? I've also heard of issues getting around the AC condenser

 

I'd put in the extra effort and go fmic. The greddy 3 row or apexi are both top notch, I believe the apexi is an easier install. There are ways to get around air blockage and ac problems. In my first pic you'll see that i've created a duct using the condensor by lowering it down allowing air to flow under the intercooler. The second pic shows how I attached a fan to the condensor allowing for much better ac.

 

fan....

 

That looks like the apexi kit

 

yes it is

 

what about the greddy 2 row? is it any good?

 

depends on your application really

definitely not to place decision on convenience of installation..

 

What's wrong with the smic again??? it has ducting to funnel air into it...
