Before i get into this, i would like to share my build (profile not updated)
This will be a forged 6 bolt 9:1 compression
Ported and polished 2g head with cams/springs/lifters Ferrea valves
255 fuel pump
Evo ecu with speed density.
1000 CC injectors
upgraded to dual 12 inch FAL fans (only had one spal fan and was over heating at idle with ac on)
HKS BOV (no leak)

i know this is not full list but most important. (might left some stuff out)

I have a FP Big T28 no play.
I would like to max this turbo out on E85 (no idea what it will max out efficiently)

I wanna keep the sleeper look so im going with SMIC. I had this "Super" IC boosting ~21-22 psi on e85 with no boost drop. (Left one(i beleive its a Super?), Right one is Supra)


Someone told me the "Super" IC has a better cooling design than the supra. (Pics shows internal fins)
Like i stated, i would like to max out my T28 on e85 and just wonder if i will be running into heatsoaking problems? Will the Supra IC be a better choice? (i will eventually made aluminum end tanks) How much boost can i run my Fp BIG T28? (pump 91 i will do 20-22 for DD)

I have done alot of research, So far its been said that the Supra is the best SMIC. But i wanna compare those two.

With E85, heatsoak will not be an issue. Some guys run no intercooler at all with intake temps well into the 200° range. Run as much boost as the T28 will handle (which might not be as much as you think...)

With 91 octane, everything will be an issue. Just look at it wrong and it'll knock. So 20psi with a SMIC might not be easily accomplished.
 
Ah okie, so which side mount is the best out of those two? I thought the fp Big t28 flowed close to the evo 16g?

Gave it some thought, and maybe i can get some help. Ill run a side mount for now, and when i upgrade turbos ill do a front mount

But for now, which of the two is a better side mount?
and what are my choices for a low profile FMIC (black). Im thinking on upgrading to a FP black by end of next year. maybe i can start collecting parts when i do order the turbo
