[wcpierson]

is there any pros- cons to running a smaller front mount intercooler with 14b turbo? any opinions on what kinda intercooler i should go with...thanks
also where could i get like a complete set up intercooler and piping..thanks

Depends on what boost you want to run I guess. I am definitely getting one (small fmic) for my 14b cause the stocker doesn't seem to hold up that well at 16psi.

No cons really. IMO. Make sure your cooling system is good to handle the block air to the rad, I guess. I think it's a great idea; although, the stocker isn't bad. I say go for it. www.diamondstarmotorsport.com has a 1g budget FMIC kit.

Only con would be having to upgrade it later if you go to a bigger turbo.

^^^ Werd.

am I right in thinking that a small "350hp" IC would be enough for a big or evo 16g upgrade?

im only looking for a low 13 second car im planning on upgrading to a small 16 possibly a big 16g with a 190lph and 550 or 650 injectors...what do u think

I run the extremeintercoolers.com 7" kit. It allows for room to grow and keeps my 20 psi 14b pulls cool on the outlet side.

You'd be fine.
