top mounted mine on my caddy with a scoop.  a lot of peeps laughed at it here,  but it's purpose built and keeps my EGT's very very cool. engine work is not too bad either.  i basically relocated the battery behind the seat and put the intercooler there.   and after all, the point was low EGT.  not to impress armchair builders  :-*

nice work on that install, looks good.  What intercooler is that?  I'm considering ditching my fmic in favor of a top mount because I'm running hillclimbs where I see high boost for a long time, and the intercooler in front of the radiator is heat soaking both, making some warm water temps.
