Default FMIC or SMIC?

I need an intercooler very badly. I can't decide which is better A side mount intercooler or a front mount. I am worried that with the front mount it will cause the coolant temp to rise. Need some input please. Thanks.

Default You already have a SMIC...

the only SMIC upgrade im aware of is the RS4 SMIC...Gjamie has one on his APR S3 A4 along with water injection.

Several guys track big turbo A4s with FMIC's, and ive yet to hear any of them complain about elevated temps...you will be fine with a FMIC.

Cheers,
Sameer
