Ive researched it a bit and have found that a FMIC is difficult to install on a 185 due to all the A/C pipework and condenser. As far as im aware Its only really possible with a GRP A bumper or a custom bar with sufficient clearance.

Is there a bolt on design available for the 185 with a standard bumper and how long is all the extra plumbing??

IMHO the top mount has a great advantage due to the shortened intake path (less spool up time), and can be upgraded with a thermal fan and water injection to increase efficiency...or if you got enough dough for a FMIC source a GRP A W/A IC and have the best of both worlds....

not hard to fit if you put a bit of thinking into it Smile

short pipework does lessen lag, but then heatsoak doesn't help
that with a TMIC - fan would help
pipework on mt st185 isn't too long & heatsoak is not an issue
Lag is taken care of with aftermarket ECU and boost controller Very Happy
