It really depends on what you are after from the car, there are three options:

SMIC (Side mount) : Sits in the place of the original, great for mild power increase and daily driving.The problem is the raditor will warm it up when you are going slowly on hot day or if you are stuck in traffic.

FMIC (Front Mount) : For out and out power (drag racing) sits directly in the air flow at the front of the car provides the best cooling for the intake charge, but heats the air to the radiator an blocks its airflow; requies specailist piping (most FMIC kits come with this)

V-Mount IC : Imagine the front the car is pointing left and you are looking at it from the side the v-mount is like this > with the upper line being the IC and the lower line the rad. Its expensive but the best for track racing and extended high speed driving, as neither blocks the others airflow also requires the most work to fit. It\'s also very cool and people will be jealous! ;)

If you are intersted in any of the above please feel free to PM me.

well if you want something thats good an easy enough to install, id go for a stock mount IC. They work really well. Ive got an RE-Amemiya SMIC on my car which will be coming off shortly. Works really well on my car and loads of people still use them with single turbos etc. Also really easy to install and doesnt require you to remove your bumper and/or make up new pipes.
