VA To kit or not to kit?

I plan to buy a turbo 13b for my fc, and I have reached a problem. I dont know if I want to top mount the intercooler and get the new hood for the ease of the installation or run piping for a front mounted one. Ive been told the front mount would breathe much better and I like the concept but I dont know if my stock bumper would have the air flow it needs, if not what would be some almost stock looking replacements?

Do a search for "FMIC" , "front mount" or "v mount." You will find a ton of threads on running that kind of setup that can give you an idea of how to make it work with a stock bumper.

Yeah FMIC or V mount is the way to go. But by far the cheapest way to put one in your n/a would be to buy a half cut, it would come with the top mount and everything you need to get you started.
