FMIC question

[KGB Pilot125]

whats better top to bottom or side to side flow?

trying to decide what FMIC to get for my DSM and I would rather ask some smart syty owners.

I think it depends on what HP level you are shooting for. Unless you are going all out, I don't think it will make much difference. I would get top to bottom, since most DSM FMIC kits are designed that way. Should be cheaper and easier to install.

What year DSM do you have. The best place really to put it is right behind the front airdam down low. I don't know of any good DSM forums. I can check though. I just found
here is a pic of the 3rd gen

1st and 2nd gen look like this

www.dsmtuners.com looks like it may have a forum there.

It depends on the size of the intercooler. If you have a 10" height x20" length x 3" width IC....it'll cool better and have a lower pressure drop if it flows top to bottom.

Usually people just set it up the easiest way possible on the car.
