front mounting is a better place to put them. You can actually use the Stock intercooler and Front mount it and still see a gain, but alot of people like to use big truck intercoolers or larger car intercoolers. If you have the money spearco's are really nice.

We have the same cars, I just put in a LA2 actually, rebuilt and matched browntops and an ACT sensor - just a coule of weeks ago. It's a breeze, idles better, more torque, fuel mileage jumped big time! I think I'll be running a few more psi of boost as soon as I figure out this darn miss issue my car's had the last several months. Do it!
If you are low budget like I am (on the SVO anyway), email me and I'll shoot you pics of my FMIC on my SVO. I just used a TC IC. Simple option if you are on a budget. REALLY impressive improvements. The cold side line is alway's cold now. No more pinging at 20 psi.
-good luck!

I'd be interested in those pics. If you can email them to me at [email protected] or just post them here, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking for intercooler options for when I swap the TC motor into the Notch.
Thanks,
WES
