Can you fit the pancake pipe to this aswell or is there no need?

as in the uprated pancake pipe from Forge??

urm its designed for the TDI's  :tongue: not GIT's GTI's

AFAIK the diameters are different

Thats what I thought but Dai said they do them for the 1.8t he gave me a link to a site that does them wasnt Forge though.  :smiley:

chances are that one won't fit the Forge item but i could well be wrong - info seems pretty scarce on them tbh  :undecided:

any real differnece between the SMIC and FMIC? or just really the location

from what i've read you'll experience less lag with the SMIC  :undecided:

less lag you say??? Mmmm wonder why that is, so they both would give similar power gains

i'd imagine it's to do with the SMIC having a smaller volume, and thus taking a shorter period of time for the IC to fill, the problem is with a smaller volume the IC isn't going to be able to cool as much air as quickly as a bigger IC, causing the power to drop off quicker than one with a large volume / more efficient cooling, similar to how a smaller turbo spools up quicker, but doesn't pull for as long.

Here you go, only problem is it includes the throttle body to intercooler pipe as well which I wouldn't need!

If the engine mounts from THS are anything to go by - It will be an excellent product  :cool:
