Default After cooler vs Front mount ?
Im thinking about going with a front mount and doing away with the after cooler + spearco radiator. What do you guys think ?

Yeah fmic's will lose lots of boost over an aftercooler. Seen some lose up to 5 psi with a fmic. Aftercooler's cool the charge really well!

not to mention the added pipe routing kinda sucks with the blower mounted up front - makes for a very messy engine bay. i should know, i tried it.
