I'm asking this without opening my hood to see if there's any room there so I hope I don't sound stupid
No room for an IC under our hood. It would have to be one hell of a tiny one, and I mean TINY. Even if one did fit, I dont think the aero of our hood design is proper for the right cooling induction so we would probably need one hell of a high scoop (thinking no smaller than the '04-'05 STI scoop).
Front mount would work, granted you could design a new front clip like the Mooncraft, heh.
Definitely one of those mods/tasks I am glad to see someone else try out and not me, heh.
