FMIC fitted

[freddie]

Got round to fitting my fmic yesterday it took 3 1/2 hours and had to trim bumper at the bottom to get it back on. What a noticable difference it pulls so much harder than the smic. From a standing start it feels awesome next step dyno run to see if its made much difference. Thanks again forum/awesome gti for the group buy, well happy

What did it cost all you...for the FMIC? And associated pipework?

 

[freddie]

In total £572 and that was with everything but the misses thinks its £250 or she would go mental!

Haha, that's classic! I hope you hide your receipts well.

I've never had VAG com on my car so not sure whats really going on or if its running at full potential?

Has anyone noticed a slight drop in boost pressure from fitting fmic from smic? is it anything to do with the larger volume the fmic holds?
