   only gripe is...where to mount it without causing a boost leak

   mines mounted on a vacumn takeoff on the inlet
   not the same model as the one in the link though but same idea

   bit off topic i guess but what sort of temps should you be looking at acheiving at the inlet on a boosted 16v?

   under 50deg is a good target to aim for at peak power

   As mark says on my old intercooler on a hot day you could feel the drop in power above 50 degrees
   Since having the pro alloy fmic made ive yet to see it go above 25 degrees unless sat in traffic and getting heat soak
