Because The DSM side mount doesn't do ****.

I'd just save up a few hundred $ and get a decent front mount, PM Hondaddict here on H-T for sizes and pricing.

Get a jonnyracecar intercooler, there about 200$ shipped. Your really better off running a intercooler. They fit well in a honda bumper with some cuting, but if you get the 8inch I think it fits very well with little cuting.

I would suggest keeping your IAT's below 130 F.
