Im just about to finish my 3s (2nd gen) swap, I have the cone front bar and st205 hood. If im going to use them with the TMIC will I have any problem with the heat soak?

Was gonna install the W2A but I got ripped off by sickman89.

If I understand correctly, you'll using the ATA intercooler? Then you will get heatsoak. The 205 hood is not designed to let cool air in, but only to let heat go out

Correct me if I'm wrong but if he uses the A2A intercooler along with the st205 hood, he won't have any issues while hes driving. But will get heat soak during idle.

You are wrong.
The st205 hood doesnt have a hood scoop for the intercooler, only a heat vent for the exhaust manifold (not the same thing).

That a/a intercooler is only good for 2 things. 1. heatsoaking 2. cooking hamburgers.
When you swap, you HAVE to upgrade the intercooler.

i would presume that getting piping and a fmic would be cheaper, and most likely more effective than souricng a good w/a and installing it.
