Aristo smic install pics...

Hello all, i was wondering if anyone had some good pictures of the aristo smic installed on a gs300,
Started my swap on my 2000 gs, held IC up on the pass side and dosnt look like i will have room to run charge pipe from turbos... I am using the oem aristo smic with oem piping as well.
Can you use the oem mounting brackets thatbare on the ic. Hoping there would be provisions for the mounting tabs as it came out a JDM gs... Sorry ofnthis is a newb Q, i searched and coulding find any pics thats should how people went about mounting this IC.
Also, will the external trac ecu from the aristo be needed?
Thanks in advance

Nvm figured it out, was able to pickup all 3 oem mounting bolt holes, all the oem IC tabs lined up perfect.
Really glad IC came with all the oem mounting brackets!

why would you want to use side mount? front mount is more efficient for cooling

Unless you are going single or high flowed twins, the SMIC actually does the job well.

agreed. they don't spend thousands of dollars developing it so any monkey can just throw something in there and get an improvement.

Agreedx2 didn't want to respond to a comment like that, figured if you we're gonna say somthing like that you obviously don't understand how things work, bigger is not always better... Well in the IC case lol.
Bigger means more area to fill which equals more lagg, more weight, ect... For what I'm doing the stock IC is more then enough..

yes and no.... less response is what your thinking of, but that is more dependent on the BOV location than the size of the inter-cooler. there is alot of science surrounding turbo's and inter-cooling that is needed for consideration.

as for cooder air.... the thermal efficiency of the turbo also play's alot into that, really depend's on boost level's and turbo air-flow, and air-flow around the car as well. you may not get any gain from throwing on an after-market IC.
