Laguna FMIC

[nogutsnoglory]

Just got my car back from Vagtech where Greig and Charlie have done an absolutely amazing job fitting the intercooler to my ibiza, firstly its centered which looks the dogs nuts plus they've added a smaller tube to make sure the pipework has no kinks in it.
Driving home was an absolute dream, pulling really hard, I couldnt stop smiling.
Big thanks to the director (lol) Greig and Charlie for their top class engineering, also big thanks to Alex from TTShop in Bedford for sourcing the pipes at such short notice and Stretch79 for the FMIC

Im not honestly sure mate, Greig and Charlie did all the work as I didnt want to attempt and then have to pay someone to fix my bodge job lol, better off doing it the right way first time (in my case)

omg youve said something nice about the laguna intercooler are you feeling alrite

i still cant work out how they got it so central. The only thing i can think off is that they have removed the bracket for the towing eye to be screwed into.

If that is the case what you going to do if for some reason you brake down? Or how will it be strapped down if/when you take it to a rolling road because any RR's that i have been to they have strapped the car down by the towing eye.

looks really really good!!!!!

you could try to put your eye in and see if it works, remember to screw it in backwards (left hand thread)

Looks good mate
