so i have been seeing this alot lately 3s running a front mount and also alot of gt4's with front mounts and got rid of the top mount a2w they had stock. now is this just an issue of money and simplicity? obviously a front mount is real simple and wont set you back as much as a2w ic would but why would you get rid of one if it came on your motor stock?

let me know what you guys think, i plan on boosting my 5s and running a a2w ic system

There is no point to run an aftermarket A2W setup for daily driving. When it is 95 degrees outside your water is going to be the same or hotter. Atleast with A2A once you start driving it will cool down your temps. A2W is better used for drag racing when they can dump bags of ice on it and gain the max they can in a short span. Why bother running a water setup if you need a radiator on that just to keep the water temps down. You are putting more work into it then you need.

Yes, I realize toyota did A2W stock, yes I realize a member here if not others have done a A2W setup. And yes, I think it is stupid and a waste of money which could be better spent elsewhere on the car.
