The stock ST205 top mount has similar performance (both in efficiency and flow) to most upgraded side-mount intercoolers for the MR2. Many MR2 guys want the ST205 intercooler as an upgrade. If you are staying under 350hp, the only reason you would want to get rid of it is for simplicity or weight. Remember that you have to bypass a few sensors and the pump in the wiring harness to keep the ECU happy if you get rid of the AWIC.

Looks great, looks stock and you don't have to cut up the front of you car to get an intercooler up there.
