Another Fmic Post

[northeast_gti-t]

Right i have decided to get a fmic for my golf in readiness for an r-tech stage 2 re-map at some point  i have been reading a previous post http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=119624.0 with reference mainly to the fmic's that are on e-bay tbh my budget won't go as far as a forge one and besides i dont like the idea that the forge ones only have the cold/hot outlets on the one side which is not what i want i'm after the look of the r-tech one fitted to ben's golf  ideally the r-tech fmic is the one i'm after but i spoke to ben this afternoon and theirs isn't actually up and running as yet ben has it fitted but with no provision for the map sensor which the aum's have they haven't fabricated a map sensor flange/boss to locate into a pipe as yet obviously agu's won't have this problem  ideally i'm looking to get one fitted at the end of the month as i have two weeks holiday  so i looked on the bay and came up with this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-1-8T-turbo-03-FMIC-Front-Mount-Intercooler-Kit_W0QQitemZ250459458737QQcategoryZ72205QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m215QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%252BS%252BIA%26itu%3DUS-BWR%252BUCI%252BUCC%252BIT%252BUA%26otn%3D4%26ps%3D33 what's everyones opinion on this?? looking at the pipes there does'nt seem to be a provision again for an aum'd one with map sensor flange  so i found this from forge http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260301&product=FMMAPT could this be an answer if i went the e-bay fmic or my other idea is as i put to ben could him and nick not use one of these in their kit?? i'm willing to supply the pipe for them to try obviously it could require 2 new sillicone pipes and clamps but maybe this would get round the problem as could it doing the install myself i'm sending the link to ben for him to show nick and hopefully have an answer at the end of next week  whats everyones thought please comments welcomed

nearly as expensive as a fmic which i prefer for looks  and also the fact that its in the airflow all of the time when being driven thats the benifit of a fmic

i bet the difference is much with the uprated smic to the fmic is there any logs on this.
