VMIC TO FMIC

[Doward]

I gotta know.. WTF is a VMIC?

FMIC = front mount intercooler
SMIC = side mount intercooler
I've even heard TMIC - top mount intercooler

I have never heard of a VMIC - Virtual mount intercooler? Vertical mount intercooler?

V-mount IC....its the stock IC setup for the MKIII basicly it sits at a slant instead of blocking the radiator.....a mix between a FMIC and a TMIC

Spaking of VMIC, is there any advantage to mounting the ic vertical v/s @ an angle, or vice-versa?

When my thread gets approved it should be in the turbo SME section .

i would say in a way yes, the intercoolers not blocking your radiator....which is helping keep the engine cool and we all know how temp sensitive the Soup can be....really thats all i can think of that would make it better than a FMIC b/c the air has to sweep up and not a direct flow....but im no expert read Starscreams5000 thread

The thread that I posted and am awaiting approval on is a more detailed version of that thread that you are speaking of blackkarma. It should prove to be VERY useful to anyone on here, even the non turbo guys .
