how to make the most out of the SMIC

[paultownsend]

My stage one map, forge 008 and pipercross filter are getting fitted next week on my 99 AGU 1.8t.

The car has just had a full major service with all genuine parts and is running like a dream.

Im wanting to make the most out of the stage one map. so i will be at a later date adding a creation motorsport set,TIP and catch can.

I like how quiet the car is, and i wont be wanting an aftermarket exhaust. I also do not want a FMIC as i see the THS as the only viable option. but an expensive option.

I will be adding a ko3s at a later date.

So the current SMIC. I have read and read and read, and the turborevs SMIC seems to give little improvement on a good working OE item. so i want to make the most out of mine

currently i have this going to the SMIC


will fitting this give better airflow?


ps, it fitted on this


I may match the passenger side to a cold air feedto the airbox

Thanks in advance

Ok, so whedid your stage 1 come from? Honestly unless it was specifically written for your car you'll just have a stock may be off the shelf stage 1 and it'll be written for a big standard car so you adding bits making amicable more efficient will be an almost certain waste of time. Unless you plan on getting a stg2 you wont see any noticeable gains for your hard work

Topher @ Midland VW will be doing the map tuesday.

The way i see it, the more flow the SMIC gets the better

drill some hole in your arch lining to help with flow
