Milltek dp + cat or FMIC??
- Thread starter Neel-Cupra
- Start date
I have now e-mailed them on the info@miltek address and I will let you know how I get on!
I remember when it was first fitted it lasted less than a week but at first it was very impressive so hopefully i'll get a good outcome.
there ya go dude
hope u get sorted
I have spoken to miltek who have said it maybe the diverter valve causing the slow spool up.
But they do agree it may also be blowing/knocking from bad fitment so they said its up to me if i would like to drive up there and for them to take a look.
Its a shame its about £40 just to get there & back!
wot are the problems ur have with it exactally because not being funny they aint rocket scince to fit
its not rocket science but its a pain in the arse
sleeve joins dont help but also the pipework over the rear axel isnt too friendly for lowered cars
yeah i ad bout 6 snap on adaptors on there to get to the nuts mine is fitted spot on now im well happy
DP should help your turbo spool up quicker and free up a few horses.
FMIC will help with the looming prospect of heatsoak and make the car pull harder higher up the rev range, but may cause slower turbo spooling times (depending on cooler and pipework).
Ideally as you know both would be the way to go.

I've never attempted to fit it because i haven't got ramps or enough tools to attempt and my driveway is gravel which doesn't help matters!
I've given it back to Seat who have had another attempt at its all fine now, no jumpy idle either.
My car needs to be sold now as i bought another car for my birthday although i'm definatly going to miss the cupra.
wrong way round mate, Milltek are all now 100 cell, they used to offer both but have now dropped the 200 cell so new ones have more flow.
what do people think then, Blueflame 3" downpipe and 100 cell race cat, or the new milltek 100 cell? which ones better? would i need a adaptor if i go for the blueflame??
The groupbuy price for the Blueflame is definitely very good, in fact its outstanding. The general opinion on the Milltek systems is that they're better built with better quality welds although I believe Blueflame have tightened up their quality control in this area. A Milltek for the Ibiza has a 2.5" downpipe, this will give you a bit more torque but slightly less in the way of BHP assuming that both the Blueflame and Milltek cats have identical flow rates.
I was in the group buy at one stage but I got an offer I couldn't really refuse on a Milltek 3" downpipe, 100 cell sports cat and 2.5" non resonated cat-back system, £570 fitted. It worked out about £20 dearer than the Blueflame system after fitting is taken into consideration but for the peace of mind and outstanding warranty/customer care reputation that Milltek have, I've decided to go for the full Milltek system. Its getting fitted next thursday. In a couple of months when I get Revo stage 2, I'll see the benefit of the 3" downpipe, whereas I believe the Blueflame LC item is 2.5".
If I were you I'd go for the Blueflame as both appear to be 2.5" for the Ibiza. A Milltek system will probably be at least £150 dearer.
