I don't reckon that grille is big enough, I would just put  load of approx 20mm holes in it and leave it at that

That's what I did on mine, took the arch liner off and drilled through like a mad man, now running a FMIC and its a huge improvement when hammering it non stop

just had another look at those smic turborevs on ebay and i have notice that they now say they need some moddifying to go on to a tdi does any one no if this is correct or not

[james2]

Cool  my smic turned up today.  looks well made im very happy, cant wait tell saturday to fit it. 

[Wazzzer]

It needs an extra pipe to fit to a TDI due to the push fit connections. PM old_no7 (Neil) on here or on ukmkivs and he might be able to help you out with what you need to purchase

wazzer , how the funnel hold on to the turbo rev smic.  And  please say yeah, iv put a alloy plate over 10mm hole with a gasket and black silicon smeard on the gasket.  Will it hold the boost.

I remember autospeed adding a vent to the wheel arch, it did F all. Reason being was the vent design was not efficient enough in improving air flow and it had no effect on the pressure under the arch which is what they where testing and measuring in the experiment, instead they decided to use a FMIC do to a bigger access of inlet air flow on a pd engine which are far more on boost than our engines, have a read:

The bumper will hold it roughly in place, I was just gonna put some duct tape around it lol

Only one way to find out if it holds lol
