I can't help but think this is the majority of the reason the Stillen kits come in under the competition.

The manifold doesn't seem to be as good a design as the stock one and the cooling capacity of their water to air intercooler just doesn't seem up to snuff.

There was someone on the forum that converted to a front mount using the stock manifold and got MUCH better numbers. If I were to ever try and do a S/C on the cheap, I'd buy someone's used Stillen kit and have a new mounting bracket made so I could front mount an Air to Air using the stock manifold.
