Anyone know of a smic that can handle a pretty big turbo, I'm talking a 20g or something around that size ? I am thinking that the Supra MKIV is out of the question. But what about other various aftermarket tuners?
Thanks
 
You could always upgrade the sidemount to a bigger one that circulates more air to cool it if you are wanting to keep the side mount. Personally i think the FMIC are awesome, but if your wallet is tight i would jsut upgrade to a larger side mount. Dont get me wrong though i do belive SMIC can hold a larger turbo to a certain extent. Let someone else answer the certain extent question cause i am not sure on that.

IMO a SMIC is a little small, in terms of airflow and cooling capacity for anything over a big 16g, especially during the summer. You could try one of the various upgraded SMIC's out there but for that money you might just save more and get a front mount. MKIV would probably work well and is a cheaper alternative, if you can find one that is.
 
I know it has been asked in different forms of questions before, but I was curious if anyone had any real experiance with it. I have been using the search but couldn't find out what I wanted to know. Thanks for the response....:thumb:
