Just use one sidemount. Its been done before, and as you said - 8psi on most turbos isn't enough to overwhelm a single sidemount. Most DSM's run 10-15psi stock, and that's on a smallish sidemount intercooler. Also, that second SMIC won't do much besides create a pressure drop, unless the 1st SMIC has no airflow (in which case, the 1st should be removed).

Keep it simple, I think you are safe with the one until you start upping the boost..

If you wanna up the boost, and it wouldn't be too much of a PITA to install the 2nd, go for it. Otherwise for low boost just use the 1g DSM

yeah thats what i was thinking. that the second would make the setup shittier until more boost arrives. i saw a kit for the eclipse to use the second intercooler instead of a big *** front mount a long time ago. i guess it was for a sleeper look
