front mount intercooler, also with 2 completely seperate w2a setups that will be alot of clutter under the hood. even the cost of everything and the headache of making it all fit, for in my opion, not worth the effort. the intake manifold gets hot and will heat soak, instead of 2 w2a setups just get a large reservoir and on race day throw ice in there if u want to stay with a w2a. i feel the fmic is the best option, simple effective, allows maf placement after blower and will read actual air temp going in. no need to buy a complete water cooling system with another pump, installing extra ait sensors, and avoid making your engine bay a clustf**k

Thanks for the clarification on the fmic ... :-) I knew what the ic was in reference to - just couldn't figure out what the the fm was !

Under the hood would look almost like the stock Stillen with the exception of the Barrel IC and that would be barely noticeable since it will be cut in to the charge pipe just aft of the SC'r.
The hoses would also be hidden with the water in/outs facing downward.
There would be the extra heat exchanger in front of the radiator on the passenger side and next to the stock Stillen heat exchanger on the drivers side.
The circulating pumps would also be hidden as well.
The AIT sensors would be where they should be...after the IC and close to the TB's.

However, Just had another brain fart and I'm already thinking of another way to do things >>> will discuss this with the shop hopefully tomorrow.

One of these days the car will be on the road again ... I know it will ... I know it will ... I know it will ...
