looks like your ready for stage 2 .You could get a turborev smic for £100 new off ebay. There about double the thickness.  :wink:

I had a custom map with the standard side mount intercooler and the result was 233bhp & 240 ft/lb, have since fitted a forge FMIC - peak torque was up to 260 but it is needing a remap tweek and there is a noticeable amount of lag - after that slight lag it goes alreet :)

If going for an FMIC get it on and then have the car mapped.

Ok was hoping for a bit more torque than that with the k03s on as ive got 233 ft/IB with a k03 on stage 1.will prob go stage 2 with stock i/c then as a front mounts prob a long way off with my baby due soon lol

I have 256lb/ft on K03s. The torque is only a peak figure at full boost so more peak boost will theoretically give you more torque but it will stress the engine/gearbox more...

loads of ppl put th s on init and they dont have probs with gearbox do they?though you got more bhp and could hold the peak boost for longer on the s.ill ask r tech hopefully goin up there next sat toby lol.

somebody posted a chart type experiment about Ic's and the results show the sidemount to be the best all rounder (non standard).

anyone else remember this??

I get the same power result at lower boost with my FMIC
