personnaly i'd say front mount,

top mount you'll be getting the same problems as a standard intercooler i would've thought, plus theres all that waffle about the scoop being useless under certain speeds :roll: not sure the truth in it. Mines up in the grill behind the intercooler on the cold side at the mo but going to move it to drivers brake duct soon me thinks 8)

Mine's in the grill but I do worry about a frontend accident and dumping the oil.

i think if you have a front end accident dumping your oil will be the least of your worries :lol:

Yeah, dont want it sat on top the engine collecting all that heat :wink:

I'll be mounting mine somewhere in the front bumper or behind the grill. Or wherever i can fit it in after i fit my front mount intercooler :lol:

Size is upto you, 13 - 16 - 19 rows are fine :wink:



My car uses the 13 row and since fitting it my oil temp never goes above 90 degrees and my engine produces 356bhp and yes I drive it hard 8)


Gary at GTiR spares sells them at very good prices :)
