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 --------------------  i hate snow, missing my celica |

Thw WRC cars didnt get what you have though..they were a little different, bigger charge coolers than production cars, also to keep the temps down they also had to run Water Injection and spray bars. FMIC is cheaper, easier, more effective and dam ugly...I hate them....W2A for me any day
