tidy car too, well impressive

? did you disconnect the battery for an ecu reset ? dunno why but driveforwards went even better once we did his - i guess the recordings were all FMIC after

pics dont work for me either, but i kind of agree with craig on this subjct!

i first had the forge cooler on mine running roughly just over 200bhp and it was fine! i then upgraded to IHI over 300BHP and the forge one coudlt handle it. The intake temps were through the roof so i invested in the jabba pro alloy one and its a bigger core and works alot better for the set up iv got.
not slating any of these do it your self ones etc but in my opinion you pay for what you get and seems to be working fine with mine.

I think you could make your own FMIC for cheap and work just as good as jabbas. Hopefully i will prove this shortly!

intercoolers are expensive because they are made to fit the car spot on , i have had cheapo intercoolers and they work fine , with good intake temps as well , forge even do cheap universal intercoolers , payed £180 or so for one when i bought it from forge cant remember a exact price but it was cheap , it works out better to get a universal one from forge , any sizes as well .
