Re: fmic vs. smic

could i use the side mount ?

Re: fmic vs. smic
8psi is dependant on the turbo you use. 8psi from a 14b is very different from 8psi from a 50 trim. Either way, power will suffer greatly. Let's just say even DSM guys get rid of their stock side mount intercoolers as quickly as they can. This is probably why you're getting such a "good deal" on your side mount and BOV.

Re: fmic vs. smic
I ran a dsm smic on my car for a while and no one know i was turbo. It was cool for a little bit then got stupid so i got fmic but i did notice in my accord that the turbo spool way faster with the smic cause it require less pipe.
