dual intercoolers

[ShaggieRL]

well i came across a small frontmount not the bigest thing in the world buthows this for a thought i got a ported 14b thinking about running the front mount into the stock i/c but cut and weld on inlets and outlets to match the 2.5" in and out on the front mount now would you just run the small front mount or run both or would it not be worth it i will be running a wet kit as well

You might wanna check out this post. It should have your answer, or at least provide you some insight.

Quote from Nate @ Slowboy Racing
"The biggest drawback to the front mount and side mount idea is the huge difference in flow ratings. You would always be limited by the cfm rating of the factory SMIC. Like said before, it would be more efficient to just run the FMIC."

even if you just got 2 small front mounts and ran them side by side, it's going to have more pressure drop than a comparably sized single intercooler... however if you Y off the ICP and run dual front mounts and then Y back together you might have better flow rates, and get more desired results...

Dual intercoolers is not your best bet. You will see a lot of presure drop, plus you have more piping and 4 seprate end tanks to fill.

cool thanks guys for the help i had the same kinda thinking but when i say it a small front mount it's like 18x12x3 only thing it's got going for it is it's thick.... but has nice thick runners going to it so it's gotta be better then stock only had to trade a free t-25 i got for it

18x12x3 is no that small of a frontmount, volume wise that is without considering the design and material. You definitely will be much better running the front mount by itself.
