The front mounted intercooler (FMIC) is usually done as a supporting mod when the standard top mounted (TMIC) reaches it's limits.

Fitting a FMIC cancels out the problem of heatsoak that a TMIC gets when you're sitting in traffic.

Depending on the other mods you may or may not need one.

No such a thing as ceramic turbo, its ceramic coated turbo, its to reduce the heat on the exhaust side of the turbo.


thats what it should look like coated
