front mount or A2W??, i want your opinon Options

[TRD_Ian]

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 have this bad habit of oversimplification of everything. That said. this whole discussion means nothing to me. I'm concerned about two things. 1 after cooler air intake temperature, and 2, the presence of engine knock or lack thereof.
Until someone can show me log files of the aftercooler temperature from an air to air setup and a water to air setup as well as logged counts of knock with both setups under similar ambient temp/load environments, I'm just not going to decide which one is better.

Both setups work. You might get some statistics that show things one way or another, but the truth is that both setups work and have been used in millions of cars all over the world. Its just a matter of flipping a coin and deciding what setup you personally like more.
