Where can I buy a THS FMIC or alternative
« on: 01 August 2012, 08:48 »
Been ordered with Awesome GTI for over a month and they rang me today to say its going to be............wait for it 6 WEEKS!

Apparently THS do not have all the parts required to make the kit in stock  :rolleyes:

Still a good price dude.

I cant tell you enough how good the fit is,
After a remap spending the £500 will justify spending that much on it.

Alternatively you could spend £100 on a good core then take the car to a good exhuast place I was going to take mine to http://www.pro-speedexhausts.com/ and Charlie (the boss) said he could do me a good custom intercooler pipe setup for £200 fitted.

Thats £300 and you could have it the way you want it as its custom.

Not bad for around£200 and been getting very good results on SCN and ASN.  :smiley:
I'll obviously need different pipe work but if you look at Prawns build thread I think the details of pipe work are on there for you wrong way round inlet manifolds :grin:

I already have the stage 1 remap, I am going stage 2 but I wanted it to be done this side of christmas and with awesome telling me 4 weeks ago it'll be here in 2-3 weeks and then them calling today and saying 6 weeks imagine how annoyed I am  :angry:
