im after a FMIC too. Forge dont produce one which in my opinion is a bit silly as the PD 150engines cover a multitude of cars. So have looked at Rad Tec and Allards too. I have been told tho that the standard intercooler is good for 300bhp, and if thats the case whats the point as mine is only running 210 ish????
Good for 300bhp? Wow, I thought it was good for 250bhp max.
If its good for 300 then i'm impressed!

I dunno but I thought that it was Glynn that said it was good for 300bhp, I might be wrong though.
Seat Sport FMIC for the PD150/160 is huge and the biggest and best on the market and supposed to be good for 300bhp. Forge rate their FMIC at 250 bhp max as far as i am aware.
I doubt your FMIC will need replacing unless you are running MASSIVE power (in diesel terms anyway)! Realistically you aren't going to be going much over 250bhp are you (well depends what you are doing!)? What you got planned Mike?
Mike do you know when the SFS kit is likely to be ready?

SFS have a car in at the moment, moulding the hose. Anthony said it wont be long. Just speaking to him at the moment and he said it wont be long at all. I am aftrer one too, like the resty of you haha
I've mailed him.
I've asked him to pause my order on the turbo hoses so i dont have to pay for 2 deliveries, no doubt the turbo hoses are on the way though

the number 4 hose is going to be sold with the number 11 hose and all connectors etc. its a good price, so best off if you ask Anthony

The kit is awesome mate, mine has been on over a month and it just keeps me smiling. I have the turbo hoses, induction, all coolant hoses fitted and a number 4 and 11 hose kit on the way

I dont think that the price that SFS are quoting forum members for the number 4 hose, number 11 hose and all billet alloy connectors for the hoses and intercooler will be beaten personally

I have been playing with the idea of a FMIC for a while, but have had no joy with Forge etc.
Just been having a search online and making a few calls about a FMIC and have potentially come up trumps. No prices or anything but have found a company that will potentially sort them for the PD150 engine
Happy days

Why do you want to change your FMIC for when the one you already have flows enough air for your needs plus plenty in reserve. Have you ever thought that maybe there is a reason respected tuning/intercooling companies like Forge and Allards don`t make a different FMIC they just strengthen the pipework so as to hold more boost.

Conversely there are some tuners that reccomend that an intercooler should be replaced if you are running more than 200bhp on a PD150 engine. I like to have a balanced opinion personally. I listen to what people say on here, but I also talk to tuners, mechanics, and a mate that drives in the WRC (Guy Wilkes), who has a PD150 Leon. So all in all, I would rather improve the hoses (which I have done already), and start to look at the intercooler.
Oh and by the way, Forge dont do a hose kit for the PD150 engine

Have you looked at the Seat Sport FMIC or is it just because you want an intercooler that fits the sfs pipework? Care to name these companies that recommend changing the biggest FMIC on the market for something different when running 200+ bhp. Forge do sale a replacement pipe kit £210.44 incl and discount ....+ £ 15 .00 P&P

Yeah no probs, Motoscope in Northallerton and Evolution R Motorsport in Durham are the companies that I have spoken to. Waiting for a call back of Revolution Motorsport.
When I contacted Forge a while ago, they did not produce a silicon hose kit for the PD150, hence why SFS sell the kit.
I respect your opinion, but think I will take the advice of motorsport professionals that I have dealt with for over 12 years to be honest
