    Am wanting to install some fron mount intercoolers. How easy are they to install and wahat sizes are people using. After looking where the stock ones sit, it looks like all that has to be done is for the piping to take a 90 degree turn in the other direction to mount at the front. What tips do u guys have.

    easy

    If you buy a good one from Simon TTZ or Unique autosports it should take less than 2 hrs to do the whole thing. They come with pipe word and clamps so everything is there. As for the cheaper ones you would have to get the piping made at an exhaust joint or something.

    I got mine from Simon and it went on in no time.

    How nuch should i expect to pay all up.

    If I get the intercoolers seperate, i can just get the stock pipework duplicated with a turn at the end that leades to the front??

    you can't buy a FMIC seperately, it is 1 big chunk of cooler.. Speaking to

    nearly everyone who has installed them they have all said they are a lot laggier than stock. I would suggest good SMIC over a FMIC any day, unless you are doing track work and lag doesn't really matter as much, but for the street it is up to you.
