Default Intercooler Question

This thread is strictly to prove a friend wrong...A guy told a buddy of mine that it is stupid to use a FMIC and he should fab it to fit on the ROOF on the car..hahahaha I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He said that the air coming off the ground was no cooler then that under the hood. Please explain why this is not a good idea...he seems to think this guy is a ******* genius!!

what kind of an idiot can come up with such bull ****??

the WRX style and FMIC are the best, I wonder why WRX is not on the roof if this dude is such a genious haha

fab to the roof? that's a laugh

also wonder where smoke goes when you are burning something? It raises....I wonder why, because heat rises.

well he was probably thinking that the heat radiates from the ground. also it snows most of the time in the mountains because they are higher. higher elevation cooler temps. even thought it is not logical to mount the ic on the roof it will be cooler even thought heat rises.

What the **** is wrong w/ you? You don't have to prove **** to your friend. Let him think what he thinks and look like a dumbass. Don't help him if he doesn't want to be helped.
