Front Mount vs. Side Mount?

[ExLs3386]

I dropped a Ls in my coupe and have been waiting to slap a turbo on it... i really wanted to run a sidemount and go sleeper but I was really wondering, will a front mount increase power dramatically or is it more of a personal preference as far as appearance or what not?

I bought the kit for $1500 used not sure if it was a good deal or not but i had the money at the time so i decided to buy it lol, it includes...

-Garrett T3/T4 Turbo
-RC 440 Injectors
-Greddy Type S BOV
-DeltaGate External Wastegate
-Custom Equal Length Manifold
-Custom 2.5" downpipe
-Oil Lines
-Boost Guage
-Apex'i Turbo Timer
-Turbo XS Boost Controller
-Apex'i SAFC-II

The only thing it didnt come with was an intercooler but I can get either one from a guy I know for dirt cheap....

front mount has way more access to cool air then side mounts.. & FMIC almost always yield more power over sidemounts. You want stealth just paint it black & dont cut your center grill completly out in your bumper

the front mount will cool your air more but I don't think it will add any extra power, it will actually take away a few ponies I'm using a side mount but I'm using a 14b dsm turbo with 8psi
