I refuse to turbo my NX unless i go Top mount ive never seen anyone leave in there foglights in the front mount i wana keep my fogs besides the reason why the GTI-r came top mount was to help with the ballance of the car.My opinion

my fog is staying with my front mount, There's a few other guys that has it that way. I can't go top mount with my set-up, but I will be running it on my other NX.

With Top mount you can run a larger IC hence More boost.I will be happy with about 230hp to the wheels anything more to me will just be tires smoke and loads of Tranny swaps

LOL you got some researching to do my man! First off the GTi-R top mount probably weighs about (im being generous) 15-20lbs. So It really wouldnt make a difference where it was placed on the car as far as balance goes.

Also there are a few NX's around that have there fogs and a front mount. It just makes running piping harder. As for you saying that if you run a top mount on your NX you can run a bigger intercooler...where? Good luck even trying to fit a GTi-R intercooler in there! And even if you did, it would be heat soaked at the first redlight you hit lol.
With my front mount I can drive my car hard as SHEET, get out of the car and touch my hotside piping and itll be very warm to hot, then I can go touch my coldside piping and itll either be at least cool to the touch or if its REALLY cold outside the coldside pipe will be cold as ****. Try that with a top mount and youll probably get burned!

Top mounts are only good for if you want a sleeper look, dont feel like paying the cash for a front mount setup, or you just wanna stay at stock boost or something.

No, top mount is perfect if you want to stay under 250 hp. You can not run a bigger top mount intercooler period. if you think you can, measure 32x12x3. that's the size of mine. and I have 2 B15 and Spec V trans ready!!
