Turbo and tuning set ups

[Mal]

You dont need a fmic while your sat in traffic idling. I bet as soon as you move its way better than the topmount.

Nice to have a quick getaway at the lights though!

It is far better than a topmount but the 406 intercooler is the same size as the radiator and sits between the fan cowls/rad; a fairly poor design. If it were a third of the size, twice the thickness and have nothing obstructing it (ie the fan cowls) it could get the max air from the bumper cutout and work much better all round. There would be still a bit of heat soak but not as much as currently is

You'd still notice the difference in drivability from starting the car from cold in the city and starting from cold in the country....
