Soooo whats the benefits of having a front mount intercooler on a classic turbo x plate. Im going upgrade a few mods
at present i have
z4 ecu
decat
exhaust system
panel filter
Possibly bigger turbo
none have been fitted as im gonna do the whole lot in one go and get it remapped.
Is it worthwhile doing a fmic
cheers

std black top mount will see 320hp sti tmic makes 350hp fmic come into there own above 350hp but obvisouly lower air temp but increase lag below 350hp try and find the smallest turbo for the power you want

For that you need a full exhaust system, VF35 or similar, a bugeye/blobeye sti intercooler or front mount and an ecutek

It's a hell of a lot cheaper! This time last year mine was roughly 310bhp and that didn't cost a lot to achieve, now at 420 it cost me a few quid and a lot of grief 
Over 300bhp is good fun for not much cash, step over 350bhp and it gets expensive.

Mine is a 96 so it needed some 440cc injectors (you have those), apexi power FC ECU, apexi AVCR boost controller, ARC top mount intercooler, bigger MAF (Z32), walboro fuel pump and a full exhaust system. I didn't need the Z32 for that power but I knew I would for more power.
Don't forget that you may need a Q45 MAF if you max yours out and a fuel pump, it depends on how far you push it but you are limited to your 440cc injectors.

As far I know the only difference is that they aren't numbered 
I don't think the v-limited's have DCCD's so I find it hard to find any other differences. I thought the v-limited had a DCCD but the one I viewed a few months ago didn't so I think they are the same.
