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:
-
is it me or are Awesome GTi a bit slack in its warehouse department?
-
I wouldnt be as bothered but they agreed to fit for a really good cost and I paid a £200 deposit upfront
-
you can order one from here at a really good price http://fr-rtuning-shop.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=1005
-
Thats a good price above.
-

Yeah but thats ex VAT with VAT its again close to £500

Still £25 cheaper than awesome, unless awesome's price includes fitting
-
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.

You could always go the Wellycooler route :wink:

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:

ouchh...
I waited around and got lucky with Chris's THS intercooler :cool: haha

Awesome GTI more like mediocre GIT :grin:

like i said before dalo get a s3/TT/LCR inlet manifold + ko4 charge pipe then fit a toyo sports intercooler the pipe work is better and no chopping of the front bumper is needed. just a little cutting of the crash bar the same as the THS.

It's a load of messing around though isnt it, having to extend the wiring for the Throttle body being on the wrong side and all that :undecided:

no you don't need to extend the throttle control wiring as the wiring loom goes that way, all you need do is separate it from the loom.

As DunnDeal12 said the Wellycooler is the way forward for a fraction of the price. Two of us posting the same link in one thread can't be wrong. I'm just buying all the parts needed to fit one. Alot of the true 300bhp K04 and 300bhp+ hybrid K04'd lads run these coolers and rave about them. Massive reductions and only 5 psi drop across the core you can't go wrong at twice the price!!!

There is more than one way of doing it. The ASN boy use 90deg piping straight from the FMIC. On SCN they tend to use 45deg piping from the FMIC as forge do in there BIG race FMIC. You can also either use 76mm piping all the way to the map pipe and charge pipe then step it down. Or as I am use a 45deg 76mm to 63mm reducer from the FMIC and the 63 mm piping the rest of the way.
Here's the forge fitting instructions from forge http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/media/FMINTLCR.pdf
Going down to 63mm gives you much more space to refit the bumper cover and possibly fog lights.
Have a good read through the links posted and see which way you want to go. I would highly recommend reading the links!!!! :smiley:

Some do.
My mates PD130 has them.

So you get the idea of what I'm rambling on about :laugh: I have shamelessly stolen some photos from various threads. Sorry if I've stolen your picks!
This is the ASN way of doing it. 90 deg from the FMIC and 76 hosing which is reduced as late as possible.
(http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt26/redbull2525/0b14689a.jpg)
Then the forge/SCN way of doing it with 45 deg from FMIC again reduced as late as possible but this time with hard pipes.
(http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt26/redbull2525/f3f7ab14.jpg)
Then reduced from the FMIC with 45deg piping and 63mm piping the rest of the way

Then hard piping reduced from 76mm to 63 mm straight from the FMIC.
(http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt26/redbull2525/aeb12827.jpg)

Im going to trial it different ways and see whats the best fit, I have ordered a K04 charge pipe and an LCR inlet manifold to make it easier though
-
Good lad!
I recived my 45 deg 76mm to 63mm reducer earlier. You can put your fist in the 76mm end, it's car porn! :laugh: :evil: :cool:
-
So would an intercooler with 3" inlet/outlets be ok for around 250bhp or would it be overkill?
Would a smaller intercooler with 2.25" inlet/outlet be better suited?
-
I'm fitting one to my un mapped 210 LCR. I have been reasured they will make a difference and be worth while. Also the cost bugger all comparatively and it's future proofing.
This is a must read build thread
http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/109831-prawns-a3-track-car-nurburgring-toy.html
Lots of mods on a A3 1.8t K03. From track prepping, Wellycooler fitting, K04 Hybride install, WMI install, R-Tech mapped and some great in car footage around the ring. Well worth a look and you guys will have a lot in common with it being a AGU code engine.
The Wellycooler is the way forward :wink:
-
I wish I had a DBW car. Would be so simpler to fit a home brew cooler with BAM charge pipe and right handed inlet.
I want the pipework to be hidden. But I can't afford a ths. Has anyone done a 'wellycooler' type install in a fwd golf chassis?
I don't mind the 'toyosoorts' type routing over the gearbox. Does anyone have a shopping list? Ie x4 45' silicone bends. X4 90' metal bends...........
-
The only thing I have forgot to mention is you'll need to get the inlet and outlet's of the toyo sports cooler beaded to stop the hoses piping off.

Hi all,
Just bought a toyosports cooler (3" inlets and outlets) and was just wondering whether of not there is a pipework kit that I could buy for it?
I have a 99 agu.
Any help appreciated, azz.
-
Bullyboy,
Looks like you have bought the same cooler as me. Would you be king enough to tell me where you got your pipework from?
Was it a kit or did you buy all the bits needed? if so could you tell me what stuff I would need, Cheers

Lots of different ways of doing the pipe work but don't forget my inlet manifold is on the other side to yours! Have a look at the photos I postedpin page 4 and you'll see what I mean. There is eBay links on the above threads to Mr silicon for ASH (sister company to forge) silicone hoses and alloy pipe work. I've read the above threads quite a few times so I know how to fit it and which way I want to go with the pipe work. But I'm not sure exactly which pipe work you'll need sorry. You could always sign up to Audi Sport net. There a good bunch and will help you out. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your help mate, really appreciate it :smiley:

How come everyone seems to be buying FMIC on here at the moment :laugh:?

Must be a virus, we'v all caught it lol :laugh:

How much do the pipes stick out on a mk4 bumper tho?
3" is a lot of pipework for a k03s to fill up, especially the core. Bet you see a nice increase in lag.
-

3" is a lot of pipework for a k03s to fill up, especially the core. Bet you see a nice increase in lag.
I have reduced to 63mm from the IC inlet/outlet exactly for this reason and to hopefully give more room in fitting and less cutting
-
also for people reading this remember that the shopping list for parts are different depending on the car and which route you want to take on the piping.
I am going to have a K04 charge pipe and an LCR inlet manifold to reduce the amount of piping needed
I have ordered the parts listed as being needed here post 19
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=350372
BUt that is the LCR way (throttle body on the passenger side and not drivers and a K04 charge pipe)
-

3" is a lot of pipework for a k03s to fill up, especially the core. Bet you see a nice increase in lag.
I've asked about the lag to but the size is supposed to incease the flow reducing pressure across the core, and lag is not supposed to be a problem. Only a 5 psi drop Oxford the core was loved by one user. How much psi do you run on a stage 2 K03?
As above I'm going to be using 76/63mm 45 deg reducers from the FMIC. On my standard LCR I'm peaking at 14psi and holding 12. I've not heard any negative response to this cooler set up.
-
UPDATE - after spending a long time reviewing all this I am doing this exact route (pipework is also listed) BUT with 63mm piping
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=353162#
It amounts to roughly £240 including the IC, all pipework and clamps and P&P :wink:
-
The link doesn't mention the pipe lengths... is it just a case of measuring up what lengths are needed? :huh:
-
pipework varies depending if you have a left or right side throttle body and if you need to use 76mm piping and reduce or starting with reduced staright from the intercooler 63mm
-
The angled pipe work comes in uniform lengths. You adjust it to your :smiley:application with the alloy joiners or failing that trim the pipe work to fit. :smiley:
-
Ok thanks a lot.. :wink:
-
there are so many ways of doing it thats the problem, people say order this and this and that and then you look at another thread and your 4 or 5 bits short, I used the latest link I provided and it tells you what you need per side which is helpful.
and Im not bothering with the T clamps so they will be going back £30 for 10 :sick: so I am just going to double up on the jubilees becuase for 20 of the stainless ones its about £16
There is apparently a 63mm inlet/outlet version of the toyosports cooler, but I couldnt find it so using reducers off the inlet/outlet
-
In your opinion, do you think it will be best to reduce from cooler down to 63mm?
-
Yeah think i will do the same dalo harkin.
Thats the problem I got, looked at 1 post and got a list of the bits needed, then looked another post and it's different. That's what confused me lol.
Do you think the cooler I have bought will be ok with a k03s? as it's quite a big cooler.
-
thats what I am doing :wink:
so in this post on SeatCupra.net it says:-
On the driverside the pipework goes:
1) 76mm 45Deg Aluminum Bend
2) 76mm 90Deg Aluminum Bend
3) 76mm reducing to 63mm 90Deg Silicone Hose into a: << you just need a 90 deg silicone hose if using 63mm off the inlet/outlet (not a reducing one)
4) 63mm Aluminum straight connector
Which joins my silicone hose to the standard charge pipe
Moving onto the passenger side the pipework goes:
1) 76mm 45Deg Aluminum Bend
2) 76mm 90Deg Aluminum Bend
3) 76mm 45Deg Aluminum Bend
4) 76mm Aluminum straight pipe
So you just swap all the 76's for 63's and add 2x 76mm-63mm reducers for the inlet/outlet
Like I said this is a cupra way throttle body on the right hand side, and the charge pipe is a K04 version
thats the way I am doing it
-
Yeah think i will do the same dalo harkin.

Do you think the cooler I have bought will be ok with a k03s? as it's quite a big cooler.
I have ordered about 4 parts extra that'll need to be sent back due to the difference in peoples opinions of what is/isnt needed.
the benefit for me doing it the S3/Cupra way is that its less pipework (completely removes the pancake pipe work etc) and you can see on the images that it shouldnt be that hard to do (famous last words :grin: )
all my parts should be here by the end of the week and I have given myself Sat and Sun to fit the bad boy :evil:
missus ST TDCI is in for MOT though so may need some bits for that doing, if I have to pull an all nighter to fit the FMIC I will :grin:
-
Lol, did you order your all your bits from mr silicone?
Do all the alloy pipes/bends need to be beeded?
Sorry for all the questions :embarassed:
-
pretty much, some from ASH and some from Mr Silicone, apparently they are the same, but I dont know.....
Yeah they need to be beaded, any that arent can pop off because of the boost (this is another thing with cutting the pipes if you cut the end you would lose the bead, so order either a piece of joining silicone and chop it up into sections as and when needed and chop the centre of the pipe so you dont lose the bead and use silicone joiners)
Luckily the setup I posted the link to should be exactly the same as mine, so I would rather be cutting the silicone than the ali pipes

Great knew think a like. Not just the Wellycooler but ST TDCI for the wife. How ever we just sold it!
It's great that there's so many different ways to do it. Can't wait for mine to arrive however half the silicone pipe work has turned up the wrong colour arse!
-
Does anyone know what diameter silicone I will need to go to an agu throttle body?
-
Don't no for sure but I'd say 63mm which is the magic number on a good flowing FMIC on these engines check out the relentless page on facebook there's also info on there.
-
cheers fella, will do
-
I'v seen some people use silicone on the 90/45 degree bends and some people use alloy? :huh:
Whats the difference and does it matter what you use?
-

Well other than the obvious that the alloy wont be as flexible, you obviously need to have alloy each side of the silicone to tighten it onto
other than that I think you can use what you like / prefer, I have opted for as much alloy as I can and using small pieces of silicone to join them.
Cant wait, some bits should be there today :smiley:
-
So doin it prawny's way is pretty much the same pipe length as doin it the welly way, so there would be no difference in performance wise?
Is it just how it looks that's different? Also easier as our inlets are originally this way round
Surely it should be a bit better as the charge pipe isn't above the hot exhaust manifold??
What are the cons of doing it like this???
-
Prawn. You are THE MAN
So the only real restriction here is the 51mm outlet on the turbo?
I can see you've moved the dv to the cold side. Is it just a take off for the n75 you have to add?
-
yea, after the turbo outlet it goes straight to 63mm the whole way, apart from the entry and exit from the cooler. Mine works fantastically well!
I did have a cold side kit at the time of fitting yes, although the DV has since been moved back to the first alloy charge pipe after the turbo, Niki prefered it this way.
Wellys setup, and parts list, is his way of installing it on an S3 / LCR (silly left handed inlet), and the lower section is much more visable.
Mine works for a ko3 / ko4 setup on a mk4 golf / LC / A3 running a right handed inlet.
Only change between ko3 and ko4 fitment is the first pipe, ko3 fitment uses a silicon 51-63 straight expansion onto an alloy 90, then a coupler onto the 45 and down, ko4 fitment just uses a 51-63 90 reducer straight off the turbo.

Agreed, can a mod take his posts and put them into a separate thread to be stickied? It would save the gazillion threads that seem to be appearing about fmic's at the moment. :grin:

Done :cool:

Thanks Nick for comeing over and filling the huge holes in my knowledge :grin:

so what do you do about the map sensor?

so what do you do about the map sensor?
+1 is it the ONLY option to use the forge tube with it in or get a boss welded on :undecided:
-
Or even attaching the boss to the silicone hosing maybe
-
For those of us with the throttle body on the passenger side there's two options.
Option one connect to the plastic map pipe
Option two add the forge alloy map pipe
For those of you with the throttle body on the wrong/right side sorry it's all Chinese to me :kiss:
-
If you have an LCR, just retain the stock MAP sensor plastic pipe as most people do.
if you have anything else, then where my pipe run uses a 63mm 100mm alloy joiner, just replace that with the forge map pipe under the headlight. Works a treat on the ones I've done.

Just need the correct pipe work to arrive and the time to fit it now.
