Just finished this baby.

Few more pics to follow as I cant keep my eyes open at mo

Just need to cut out number plate section and sort some mesh.

Oh ye and the reducers from pipe to cooler

 

[Scotty_b]

looking great. How much was that all in?

 

[BHP Addict]

not as expensive as you'd expect.

Took 2.5 days tho to get it all right as this was first mod on LCR.
Took hours to get bumper off

intercooler £50
Pipe Kit £110

 

[Scotty_b]

Bloody hell that is cheap!
Did you do any before logs on vag com?

 

[BHP Addict]

yeah it is.thats why i went for it.

no didnt do any logs, would you have recommended it, or just to see what impact it has??

 

[m0rk]

measure p-loss, airflow, temps

 

[gazjones]

that is huge is it a forge one? looks great mate

 

[TimD]

Looks excellent

Get some black mesh in the bumper though!

 

[RickC]

hey hey lookig good mate, the young padiwan has learned well lol

 

[flashbsd]

good luck with the conversion, hope it serves you well.

What pipe diameter is the inlet/outlet mate? and did ya do before logs so you can compare?

 

[Scotty_b]

I was just wondering how it compares to the SMIC and then to th Forge FMIC. As that is one hell of a saving.

Plus it looks sexy!

from what i cam remember when i put mine on and drove it for the first time i noticed it tl=o be a little laggier but not much, and one chipped im sure will be awsome, it does pull all the way round to the red line now as i cant remember it doing this before,

 

[J@mes]

i agree with rick... when i first drove my LCR after fitting the forge FMIC i think i felt it was slightly, just slightly more laggy... but then i went and did a high speed run and it makes a good difference! (this was before i was remapped)

 

[J@mes]

BHP Addict... most SEAT stealers have a heart attack when they see my car... they wont know wat has hit them when they see that FMIC!

 

[Yumann]

That looks very sweet.

I take it it is one of the ic of ebay with 3inch in and out?

 

[Copra]

i wouldnt cut the n/p holder off if i was you.....where would you put the plate? just get a cut down one like mine...its 14"x std depth
(pic here : http://s63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/meeerrrk/?action=view&current=RIMG0012.jpg) its a perfect fit for the holder.
please dont put chrome mesh in there, make it black, or better still, try and use the stock mesh becasue its the finishing touches either make it or break it !

 

[BHP Addict]

yeah 3" in and out 2.5" pipework through out.

I was expecting to be a little laggier after what some people have said. But one remapped Im hoping it will be ace.

I do want to sort something out to protect it, but it looks the dogs all open tho (typical looks vs lifespan )

I want to say a huge thanks to Rick, helped out when i was stuck and will probably help agen before its finished and yes Rick i learnt well

Will sort out some logs when running n post em up.

Glad you all like her

 

[BHP Addict]
