I'll just my decision.
I have a FMIC atm but the out let's are too small and have crappy piping.
Not gonna go into explaining this but Old Mav helped to point this out to me.
I stayed away from w2a due to money constraints and trying to keep it simple.
I spent a long time looking at a lot threads on moth top and front IC.

My final decision was a TMIC for a couple of reasons.
1: I like playing in the mud, less than I used too but still can't help myself, and am too lazy/don't get time to stuff around with removing things to clean it out, this was after filling current set up with mud even after trying to wash it out many times while fitted to car.
2: I'm planning to fit a fan under the intercooler to pull air through it constantly.

Very simple reasons to make decision but enough for me.
I'm not running huge boost or after huge power so it's enough

I'm no expert just made my decision from many posts, just my 2cents
