Hank_Swe Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey Im planning on installing an Fmic this summer. Im currently running 1.0 bar of boost, no heavy modifications done to the car. Im searching for a quality product. I dont want to cut too much in my body work, and it has to fit properly and look good on the car. Im currently leaning towards either a kit from ETS or Whifbitz. So please, advice needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 SRD also do a kit that is worth looking at. Once fitted get it ducted properly, im now going down this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you are not single turbo I'm sure the stock mount is a more efficient unit. Maybe a Chris Wilson one would be better than a fmic if you are still TT. As above though if its a fmic you are looking for then SRD do a lovely one.

Pig Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I fitted a greddy 3 row (many moons ago) and it fits very well although its not possible to have the active spoiler or crash bar with it. No bumper cutting etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'd ask Abz, he bought a nice one recently. Not too dear either, although i'm not sure where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank_Swe Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can somebody please give me an URL to the SRD-kit? And just to be clear, my Fmic-kit is just as much for show as for go. I probably dont need it since our summers are pretty cold..but i love the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 My eBay intercooler works perfectly. I've had 60°+ on full boost (1.2bar) and it's kept the output temperatures at ambient just as low as driving on cruise. I can't actually find a point where the intercooler doesn't give stable output. I've air intake sensors at both points of the intercooler. Without technical data to prove otherwise I would buy a cheaper unit/kit which is proven to work, until you find your power limitations require an upgrade. From all 11 repies no one's actually given any technical information about what improvements can be found using either intercooler. It would be great to actually compare the effective cooling from different intercoolers. Maybe for 600bhp I'll find flow limitations or even too much heat. But at 417bhp, I have no problems at all, not even a couple degree's of creep at full rpm / boost, so it's definitely got some performance life in it after my current bhp.
