Default Kraken EFR Top or Low mount

Howdy, slowing piecing together my build -- I am preordering the kraken full exhaust, but I dont know what turbo mount to choose -- and what the practical differences are

94 1.8 car, power steering but no AC
EFR 6258
last setup was top mount (t25), and that is where my intercooler pipes (FM silicone) run

thoughts?

If you're up for changing your hotside intake piping and maybe fiddling with power steering, the low mounts have marginally quicker spool due to the exhaust taking two 45° turns as opposed to two 90°
i think they even have standoffs for the factory heatshield
