V-Mount Intercooler setups...
Just like the title says... I am interested in V-Mount intercooler setups on the S2k... any info or pics of clean setups would be great...

i've seen a few on here, i don't know what the key wording for a search for the FI section would be but i'd start with "v-mount intercooler." i remember i did a search a while back and came up with some interesting alternatives to the fmic and the aftercooler setups...

I want to possibly explore this for a future setup, keep the pics coming!

I'd be concerned that the IC wouldn't get the same airflow as being front mounted. I know a lot of the v-mounts are intended to decrease any pressure loss due to longer piping to the fmic, but I'd have to see some empirical data to compare efficiency and post-ic temps to convince me they get better flow.
If you're just doing it for looks, well, do whatever you want, I guess.
I know one thing, here in FL, if I did any city driving, I wouldn't want that IC in my engine bay soaking up all the heat.

I know with my FMIC, it's pretty much useless in stop and go traffic.
