Hi all i'd like your opinions of brands for fmic and induction please as I've been looking and not sure what to pick.
Thanks

-
as cully said!
:cool:
-
Thanks ill have a look at those im trying to stay away from ebay specials a friend has a carbonio intake system in his 1.8t anyone had experience with these?
-
Go with wot cully said mate he Neva wrong
-
im always wrong according to the wife :grin:

I agree with the FMIC choices :wink:
With regards to the filter/CAI, it all depends what you want:-
panel filters are fine, but I removed my SAI and needed to buy an AGU airbox as it doesnt have the SAI so no hole in the airbox casing
The ebay ones go quite near the floor and if your lowered very close to the floor and people are worried about it sucking water up :shocked:
The next choices are home made/source parts, I have a small tube off the MAF to an air filter with a cold feed
Its all down to personal choice, panel filters are quiter, cones you hear the DV noise more :wink:

Yes, love mine, sounds just right, well recommended :afro:

Rtech can do FMIC from Forger for £656 fully fitted

or you can buy the ths one for a bit less again and fit it yourself if you look hard enough you can get the ths for around £450 :wink:

Sorry to hijack the thread but seemed appropriate, if i install a FMIC will it make a big difference without getting it mapped again? or will i need to map to see the benefits? Cheers :cool:

It will need mapping again to see the full gains (stage 2 ideally)

Not much TBH mate other than the price, the THS one comes with a piece that replaces the pancake pipe, not sure of the Forge does

Hi, does fitting a pipercross panel filter make any real difference as I have only recently bought the car which was serviced with new filters. I know what it says on the box but is it proven. I have smoothed the air box and it will be remapped once the exhaust manifold sorted.
Cheers. :smiley:

You won't really notice much difference before the map but they definatly help te figure when it is bein mapped
What are you doing I the exhaust Manifold? as while you have it off you might as well port it :grin:
-
Thanks for the reply,
The manifold on mine is cracked so needs to be replaced. Just going to stick to the standard manifold as keeping the standard exhaust.
I have been qouted £160.00 for the job of replacing it, just the labour, a brand new VAG manifold is £252.00.
