You've got the SC14 so primed and on at the sniff of the throttle that the parasitic loss of an M90 may not be what the car needs for track. but yeah, for sure it will need to be cooled if you use one to keep the same response of the much much lighter SC14.
I'm actually interested to see which way you go tbh
Yeah, the difference in weight between the m90 and the sc14 is substantial. The rotors on the sc14 are hollow from factory. I think that therein lies my problem though, to make the power that I want, I really think that the poor old sc is at it's limit. I want to spin it faster, but it's not holding up to the current rpm. Side mount m90 is going to be the go I think. I know where there's a m122 going cheap too

I've had a look at a couple of logs from a couple of years ago, the inlet temps would lift to 95°c whilst in stage then drop to 60°c by the end of the 1/8th mile, with MAP readings of 170kpa, so these figures should be lower now that the extra injector is running all the time.
Is the datto just running the crs piping or some custom tubing?

Custom piping. The blower is over the left side rocker cover, with the throttle body on the intake side of the blower & a solid tube between the blower & the manifold. I'll see if I can find a pic.

thinking with a sidemount M90, you could fabricate the manifold with side entry and integrated? or bolt on/off WTA intercooler.
sort of like this but WTA and M90 bolted together. That was you can have a pretty descent sized IC and not limited to sandwich plate type like mace sells.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.
No under bonnet pics yet, but here's one of it in action at the 6 Banger Nats in 2012.
