you guys are gettin too carried away with what 'seems' to be even airflow...you've got what, 20 psi of boost pressure and only one cylinder at a time taking air, you can get away with murder before airflow becomes an issue, put up some hard data, pyro temps at each cylinder etc....all the dyno ...

What do they use to seal the two surfaces up in those boxes? Is it a big o-ring type seal, or is it just the two square surfaces that make the good seal? Do they have a CFM/HP/engine size rating for their stuff? (website has no info). the filter has its own rubber moulded seal, the upper and lower ...

that line from turbo goes to air/fuel control...it limits fuel at low boost to control smoke/overfueling, once the eng reaches the boost setting in air/fuel the pump delivers max. fuel as per mechanical/governed setting

with both types of cooler you still need airflow to get rid of heat....my money would be on front mount..well shrouded and sealed so fan pulls through core(s) only...crank driven fan has more power and airflow capability than a 12V fan cooling a remote core for jacket-water cooler...prices always ...

weeman's core was a tight fit...seems to be working good...EGT's are low...boost lag is acceptable...weeman's application has a revised turbo spec and minimal fuel rate increase...depends on how much KW increase as to how much heat your asking your cooling package to get rid of...
