Is this fmic ok?
« on: 18 April 2012, 17:54 »
Looking at getting an fmic before my remap in couple of months :cool:

A garage where I got my exhaust said to get one off the bay and they can do all the pipe work for £200ish. They have tested the eBay ones and have a car running a gt38turbo iirc and running 300+bhp. Said its just the pipe work that is gash lol.

So is this one ok, just it looks skinny :undecided:

Personally if u can save up for THS or forge you get all the pipe work and its a great fit . Might end up been more than 200 from garage if they have bother with the pipe work and the air flow sensor after pancake pipe

I could fit it, just they said they can make the piping and get it as good as forge piping then they can fit it aswell. All for £250ish. They said eBay intercoolers are fine just the piping is gash that's why people slag them off and end up not fitting them lol

Have emailed them to confirm price and everything.

@wazzer, that's the look I want, hidden ftw :cool:
