1. Intercoolers use air to cool the charge, whereas chargecoolers use water
2. Side (or Wing) Mount generally means the position taken up by the standard I/C (nearside front wing, in front of the wheel). Front Mount means across the front of the car like
this! If you are interested in getting your charge temparatures down (and why wouldn't you be
) then an uprated I/C or the addition of a charge cooler is the obvious way to go. I wouldn't like to say which is best, but generally well designed FMICs are seen as the preferred option. There is currently a well priced
FMIC Group Buy going that you might find useful, and has had some good feedback
