front mount vs side mounts
Okay Summer is here and my turbos need to stay cool for some good track times ... of course option 1 is buy the side mount intercoolers from awe which look awesome ive actually seen one getting cnc-ed in thier machine shop...
next option ... bend some of my own 2.5' pipe( i think thats the right size??) and get it ceramic coated outside and then make a rack and buy a front mount ... I would def need to modify the bumper i am pretty sure?? what size front mount?? is front mount better then side ... i'm assuming size is better and I kinda like them hidden suggestions?? |
RE: front mount vs side mounts
side mounts for our cars is beter I hope. I asked my shop the same question and i don't feel like modifying the front end

RE: front mount vs side mounts
i dont think it would take extreme modification ... the only question i have is what size front mount intercooler and will i have to replace the bumper or just cut it

RE: front mount vs side mounts
I would not modify your front end for a front mount. You will sacrifice alot of safety to make it fit. I have not heard of a successful front mount on an A6. I have seen one on an S4 when I was with NGPand you have to do some major work....like cutting the core support and radiator support, plus cutting away the inside of the bumper. I would go with AWE Tuning side mounts....minimum cutting to make them fit and they come with new larger air directors which will utilize the entire intercooler. OOOO |
RE: front mount vs side mounts
yea i like the side mounts and I wasn't really sure if the front mount would even look that good ...
well ill keep you posted on how hard the install is ... do you know of a diy picture site?? |
