The hiboost intake runner has to go over the top because of the way the turbo is "facing".
As for heat...its negligable...how do I know...becuase I monitor the air intake temp via the haltech. With the FMIC it is further negated....
The IHI VF-22 is more efficent and larger than any T3...and Hiboost dyno'd the T3 and the VF-22 and the VF-22 was a better choice (all else being equal).
Is running the intake over the engine the ideal way...no... but given the advantage of the VF-22 and the Haltech...using stock injectors...made my decision.
