it does need a bit of work to get it fitted but for the cost difference between it and the Forge I know what I'll be buying  :smiley:

THS requires minor trimming but is better than forge one IMO.. Forge is overrated sh!t no engineering just easy to fit.. The THS one actually has engineering behind it and would be my choice and was on the cards for my 1.8t

what about summit like

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRONT-MOUNT-UNIVERSAL-INTERCOOLER-300ZX-200SX-SKYLINE-/350355802646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5192d54a16

more efficent, less pipework, might be onto a winner?

any benefit to running this as well as the side mount?

not as much of a pig as other intecoolers tho, you can reuse most of the oe pipework, just need a bit pipe to go from old ic inlet to new ic, then a pipe from new ic to tb.

I'm not sure how well the ebay toyosport cools charge temperature but after my usual 90 mile commute to get home, I sat idling as I rung my brother to go fetch the laptop (Our laptop's batteries are beyond doomed and have to be plugged in permenantly) and logging intake temperature shows it to be in the single figures (celsius) - the ambient temperature was 5 degrees celsius and Im pushing quite a solid 230-240bhp on every dyno I've been on, whereas I found the standard side mount was struggling when I was running stage 1 at 220+ so I can say the eurojet front mount gets the thumbs up from me.
