Gonna get a fmic but forge are so expensive so thinkin i will install a cusom 1. The only problem i can see is the sensor on the intercooler. on the forge kit you get provisions to put the sensor on the pipework. so is there any where that sell this part to tap the sensor into the pipework (a...

Where is the THS FMIC available from? Also the Laguna FMIC. Many thanks :D

Had been out shopping for the day yesterday, and was just approaching my home town. Came down off the nearby bypass and as I braked for the junction, I heard a scraping noise come from the front. I instantly thought; LCR Splitter is fooked and hanging off! So carried on and it did it a few more...

Has anyone setup a system to spray there FMIC with water? Like the system they use on Evo's. Would be simple to do. Just wondering how effective it is and worth doing?

Jeeeeesus! If I never see one of those O.E hose clips again i'll be a happy man. Is there a special tool out there that i could have used to take them off? My method of pulling them with pliers and levering them off with a screwdriver nearly made me resort to violence. So bloody...

I have finally got my THS front mount fitted and since I've never posted pics of my car yet thought I'd put some up, of the intercooler nd pipework and some shots of the cupra itself. Enjoy:) Excuse the cable ties on the pipework they were just used tep when fitting:lol:

Pulls soo much harder and boost doesnt seem to tail off as early.. overall im very happy.. looks better in the flesh.. thanks myki

Looking at intercoolers-should i go fm or sm. i'm thinking that a front mount may become a little counter productive, it will surely be dterimental to radiator performance????:confused: Advice plaese!

I did a search a while ago and found a thread which was really help and ive saved it to my favourites but for some reason my IE crashes when i open it and cant find it in the search... Im after a goodish FMIC for my mk3 cupra 1.8 20vt i did read you can get a Renualt diesel one but which one...
