The extra inlet was only a $50 extra.

I guess quite a few people run a similar one(OBXTX-300 FMIC) with good results.

this is a bar and plate style which is sopost to be better.

Re: Front mounted intercooler

Here are a few of mine:http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/evolve.../ph//my_photos

Costs depend on how you look at it. If you add the cost of the welder and equipment, it is well over a grand. If not, maybe 100 bucks. I had to buy prebent mandrel exhaust and clamps.

Re: Front mounted intercooler

My old Procharger setup had the 3-core (same length and height as my current Spearco) mounted in the same location. I fabricated all the piping myself. Marc Rahn (1st and goal) has/had a good writeup about a front mount on his site.

it can fit, and ive debated making a fmic setup, but an alky kit seems more cost effective and beneficial.

Sent you a PM about coatings too. I'm on TurboMustangs too (TwinTurboTA).
