or best just to get a proper fmic?

dont want any think lary but also want decent cooling, looks to have quite a large surface area, but of course plastic caps.

nevergonnafit.com

its from a mk5, and the core depth is pathetic!

[dub-gti]

just a no would have done, rather, beinganob.com

and just to note is surface area is much bigger then a smic

na im kidding lol  thought id be funny

so what about some thing like this?

or over kill for a ko3s , ko4 later on?

or just buy the kit so it includes pipes etc for less headache

Buy cheap; buy twice

THS or Forge is what you want as they are designed for the car

i'm so sorry petal, didn't realise you were the sensitive type. i'll sugarcoat all my replies for you in future

[dub-gti]

thanks love, that would be great 


well stricly speaking id say buy cheap buy twice but there are many things that are cheap and have good if not the same quality,

i was just thinking of a way to have a fmic with out having the extra piping, and seens as its for the 1,8t set up thinking it may just bolt right in.

but if its no better then a smic, then ill go for something else.

thing is i dont really want one sticking out the bottom of the bumper so do i need to go bigger then normal to compinstate for the restricted airflow due to the bumper and grill?
