If i were to buy a top mount intercooler that is usually ment for the sti/wrx, do you think it would fit in the engine bay of a 5sfe? I'm trying to get a list of what I would need for parts for my car once I do turbo and a top mount just sounds like a unique way to cool down the air before the throttle body. I'm only looking to turbo the car to 8psi and considering since it's an automatic transmission I'll be adding a transmission cooler on the car and won't have too much room for a front mount. Also I would be custom making a hood scoop that would fit over the intercooler as well. It won't be for a while but I have had this dream for a really long time. I just want your opinions. Pro's and Con's of this. I figure since the burien turbo kit that was made didn't even run an intercooler why not throw on a top mount in.
