It won't give you extra performance but will allow you to use what you have better and for longer.
There are a few guys running universal Ebay FMIC's, these are way cheaper and seem to work as well if not better than other expensive aftermarket options

 

[cupra r. ash]

cheers mate, are them the nissens fmic? if so i was lookin at then earlier but didnt no if they was a front mount or a side mount? or the 1 for 250quid?

 

[Willie]

Na the FMIC is £90
Try searching on the MK1 Leon section under FMIC custom fit.
A full how to with all bits listed

 

[cupra r. ash]

[Willie]

No piping, need to buy this seperate

I think the main difference with a front mount is a increase in tourqe, and a slight bhp increase if you lucky.

 

[cupra r. ash]

will i need to get it set up to the car??

 

[cap r 225]

I think the car will adapt itself but i may be wrong, hopefully somebody can confirm this?!

 

[cupra r. ash]

i ope it dous lol, as iv jus ad a stg 2 remap last week. have u got a fmic?

 

[turbin]

I understand the stock twin IC are good for 300hp-ish. Im boosting 25-26psi and my car is still happy go lucky pulls like a train !

 

[Shaunyboy]

Thought for stage 2 map it was a DP, sports cat or decat and FMIC? If its stage 2 mapped i should imagine it will run a FMIC no problem.

 

[cupra r. ash]

hopefully it will, dont want it runng shite, fink i myt go for it then. i dont get how the psi works, mym is boosting round 1.3 bar, that okay?? or mayb too much?? coz its running mint at the mo

[cupra r. ash]

haha. sorry mate, i do to much texting. do you no what 1.3 bar is in psi??

 

[Shaunyboy]

1 bar is 14 psi roughly so work it out.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

[Shaunyboy]
