Going front mount as it will be towing most of the time and in my opinion they are the more efficient of the bunch unless you want to go to a laminove style setup. Front mounts are easy to mount and dont require an extra system. Tops are good as well but at about 12-1400 for a quality top mount that flows considerable air is a little steep. Also with the top mount to get the best out of it I would require a second hold and scoop on my bonnet or a larger hole and larger scoop, which involves cutting up my bonnet and painting so more cost. I know you are putting another heat source in front of the radiator with a front mount but the cooler intake temps I think will help outweigh this as I dont like a cooling device sitting above a heat source (engine) cos as we all know hot air rises making a top mounts job harder to do.Originally Posted by snewin
Water to air are also good but the idea of having to run an extra system doesnt appeal to me and I know its been proven but im not a fan of running water in the same spot as my intake air. Front mounts are cheap, easy to fit and are simple.
There are no huge disadvantages or advantages between those 3 setups. If they are setup well they will all do their job incredibly well. It will basically be what you want to do at the end of the day and who gives you the best service.
