Currently remapped PD130 with decat (standard pipe diameter), freeflowing backbox (standard diameter), egr delete and BMC CDA. Not sure whether to go WMI, change to a FMIC, or get a full 2.5" exhaust system.

Right, have read various threads but wanted a list of tried and tested FMICs fitted to Cupra/R's, with best place to buy and what is required to fit. Also - has anyone fitted a sprinter intercooler? Have been offered one cheap.

I've tried searching before people tell me:p Ive got a KO3s and Laguna fmic. Just wondering whats the definate differences and is there a better one out of the two, anybody tested or proved this? Thanks

Hi, Im thinking of doing a universal FMIC on my Leon AUQ. I have been told its easier to get one with the inlet and outlets on the same side? Is this correct and will it affect performance at all? What do you guys reckon?

For some reason the Turbosmart DualPort Kompact can't be heard now since the FMIC and ko3s have been fitted? Any ideas why? :confused: The engine does however make a nice whistle sound and gets higher pitch when I put the throttle down which I can only assume is air sucking through the pipes...

The LCR is purely a weekend car, hardly gets used and with work and toddler commitments I kinda lost my enthusiasm for it for a while. Anyway, the temporary insanity has passed :) and modding has begun again. Just a couple of pics, spot the mods :D

hey guys, basically want an opinion on this... i'm gonna want to fit a FMIC as the SMIC is pointless and the car does suffer in the hotter weather, more smoke and less poke :ban: i'm only gonna bother with stage 1 remap so think that either will do he job i'm expecting p.s. have been...

Hi guys, Just fitted FMIC to Ibiza. Had to cut the bumper at the bottom as it sits too low. Has anyone else had to modify bumper? Is this normal?? Walshy

Right, i know theres quite a few people on here that are using Forge Intercoolers. Now this is not an attack on Forge as there service and products are top quality neither is it an attempt at a group buy. Basicly, after reading a few comments lately about the flow capabilities of the forge...

hi guys i know it been covered before prob but i really cant get to grips with the search bar!! where is the cheapest place to get a fmic for an ibiza fr130 also is the seat sport one any cheaper than the forge item? and if so is at any worse than the forge item thanks simon p.s if...

Does anyone know the difference between the crashbar suplied with the forge fmic and the original? Can you still fit the cooler with the original crashbar? Cheers
