I'm about to order intercooler and before I do I started thinking. Show I do I regular front mount, over the rad one, or v-mount one? Vote on the poll and back up your vote with a response.

When you look at how much air your actually moving as a CFM flow rate or mass flow rate, then look at the actual volume of your piping and IC, its pretty irrelevant 90% of the time. Its the consuption rate of the air ased on the engines VE and RPM and the spool of the turbo that really determines boost/response at a given time/rpm. Long story short you have to get pretty crazy with the sizing to hurt performance. Now I do think going with a huge pipe (say 3.5" or something) could hurt velocity and might affect response, but I really dont know.
I say go with whatever will be the easiest to deal with when you are working in the engine bay, and looks nice and clean.
