Front mount options?

**FLYINGTI** · 08-08-2011, 12:44 PM

Hey guys, just starting to look at some options for a front mount, i know forge has a decent set up but is there anything for a replacement that or another alternative to get that extra cooling and power??

Forge or APR, or you could always have a custom one made ?

cause of the piping!

Perhaps but not essential. PWR may have a core that'd suit, than to sort out piping. From what I recall, the forge kit comes with a reinforcement bar for the front bumper as some of it will need to be cut to fit the piping. Might be worth bearing in mind, or at least researching. I just had a look on the Forge site and couldn't see that they have a front mount for it... but I know they do.

I've ordered a Forge one a few weeks ago. 5 week wait from date of order. Cost about $1100 shipped.

I ordered a Forge one about a 1.5 months ago, i think it was around 900-950 landed from DPM performance.

Haven't experienced any boost loss or anything like that and intake temps have decreased massively.

With the stock SMIC, intake temps would reach 70 degrees+ under boost. With the Forge FMIC, on a 10 degree night in Melbourne, the intake temp remain stable at 15 degrees and doesn't even move after 3-4 full throttle runs through 3rd gear (according to my scangauge). Car pulls a lot harder through the midrange and up top as well!
