Forge FMIC

[GiT1984]

I know it sounds ar**  about face but it does increase the power by about 16BHP and my present insurer won't cover a tuning box. I know i'm a bit impatient but that's me.

Cooler intake temperatures and improved efficiency doesn't sound arse about face to me at all! Just for starters, it might encourage the ECU not to back off the boost as much at high rpm ....

Coupled with something like a full Milltek exhaust system - it could be all you need to have a solid (and reliable) 270bhp and 300lb/ft of torque ....

I am having a Forge fitted in a couple of weeks. I chose this over a exhaust system(funds won't allow both) as I think it is more of a benefit to the car ie keeps temperatures down, especially as I plan to add a shark stage 2 in the summer.

Where you having it fitted mate and how much are they charging you??

Regal motorsport in Southampton, they tell me it will take 4-5hrs and cost around £200. As I said I plan to add shark stage 2 box and get a before and after dyno. Hopefully there is a suitable profile in the box!

And how much is the intercooler? 

[Tornado8]

£756

Ooh - I feel your pain .... 

[Tornado8]

I personally would go down this route than a exhaust system

[GrahamFR]

did this ever happen?

Just to add, they also do a twintercooler for it too.

Do they fit with the radar still in place then? If not, it's a big no-no for me then!

[GrahamFR]

yes, but never like the twintercooler idea and im sure ive read bad reports on it. I am still waiting on a better fmic to come out but i would be interested to see what gains you got. strangely though ive seen that apr stage 2 only needs an intake and downpipe so maybe a IC is a step not required?
