stick with a side mount if u plan on running 7 psi for a long time. no reason for a front mount it will cause turbo lag cause of extra piping.


I actually have to disagree with this statement. I originally thought the same thing, however you should see why this is not true. Obviously a bigger front mount would be needed for a bigger turbo, running more boost, but actually, a smaller turbo will actually need more intercooling at the same boost pressure as a larger one. This is due to the fact that the smaller turbo will be 'working' more to generate the same output as the larger turbo, and in so will be generating a lot more heat. Besides, even if you have a front mount, the quick spoolup of a smaller turbo will fill the extra volume in a negligible amount of time. You will see very very little, if any, difference in spool up time. So basically, if you have any plans of getting a frount mount in the future, don't waste money on buying 2 setups, just buy the one you will use for later and be done with it. Hope this helps and good luck with your project.
