A Scoobyclinic car on a Scoobyclinic rolling road, testing a Scoobyclinic front mounted intercooler, and printed in a magazine that gets advertising from -----------guess who? Yep, Scoobyclinic.

Any other result would have been impossible.

They didn't test an STi 8 intercooler, an upgrade that's been done by most on here, nor did they test any other front mounted intercoolers.

A good page filler for JP, but not to be taken too seriously.

Wasn't it a Hybrid FMIC similar to the ones that Harvey Smith and the likes supply? Certainly not exclusive to Scoobyclinic if so (looked same design anyway). If you search on here many members have done independent tests on the FMIC v TMIC and acknowledged the ambient temps were much better with the front mount.
