Buying a Forge FMIC
« on: 17 July 2013, 11:24 »
I am meeting a guy tomorrow near me (he is driving up from Kent to Dorset) to buy a Forge FMIC off him with most of the pipe work for my !.8t golf. As I have never seen one up close before, are there any warning signs I should look out for on the intercooler tha may suggest it is damaged. The bloke seems very keen for me to have it and would not post it, hence he offered to drive up to me. I am buying it for £175 + £50 diesel money for his trip, which I will pay for cash on collection.

Have you got any pictures of it? That's a very good price.

Here you go mate. To be honest, I thought it was a good price too, just a bit concerned that the intercooler may not be 100%

Might be a Forge core but the pipework is DIY

Yeah, he said it was. The bit of pipe that is missing is the bit that goes into the turbo. Where can I get one of them. I presume it would have to have the two pipe connections that go to the DV and the N75

I have never seen a forge one that shape I'm afraid! The forge ones usually have the inlet and outlet on the same side?

As the others have said it doesn't look like a forge cooler and the pipework looks pretty shoddy :undecided:
