hard piping with side mount or Punishment Racing front mount

[TSi Kid]

I've got a small 16g, chipped eprom, walbro 255, and a 2g ported exhaust manifold so far

my next step is to run e85 and buy some 1000cc injectors and max out that 16g but before i do that i want to purchase all of the supporting mods so i can do this right

which brings up the question do i need a front mount or is a side mount with hard pipping more then sufficient enough?

Yes, you don't need a FMIC. However it is something that is recommended especially in the heat that the car will be boosting in. It'll lessen your chance of heat soaking in that dry heat

How do you figure that the 1G VRSF intercooler kit is $50 cheaper then the PR?

VRSF - $ 319.99 (core and piping) + $69.99 (J-pipe) + Shipping = $ 389.98 + Shipping

Punishment Racing - $399.99 (includes j-pipe and free shipping) = $399.99 shipped.

Plus when Punishment puts it on sale (several times a year) its like $379.99 shipped.

PR - 26"x8"x3.5" Bar and Plate core
VRSF - 24"x8"x3.5" Bar and Plate core

Actually your wrong, I just bought the VRSF kit and it came to $380 shipped with the J pipe.

No side mounts. I highly suggest if you are getting or have an aftermarket turbo, you will need a FMIC.

I ran 28psi on a stock sidemount, piping, and exhaust. I also trapped 110mph with only a turbo and fuel upgrades, on e85.

Actually I'm quoting the actual price off their website. If it was on sale or you got some deal that's great but I am not wrong, look at their website.

Ok, well that is the persons problem buying it directly off the website then instead of calling in and talking to someone directly, also another reason most people have problems with all their orders when they order their parts from places.

If I'm spending hundreds of dollars on parts I'm going to be talking to someone directly to make sure there is no confusion down the road.

Get the injectors and work on the E85 and decide if it is what you want. Then go to an FMIC
