Forge uprated SMIC for PD 130

[micky 32]

has anybody fitted one of these and if so are they anygood? are they worth getting? any opinions??

thanx

yes & yes & probably not...lol

I think you might be better off getting a FMIC. You can see serious improvements with the OE FMIC.

www.am-motorsports.co.uk are doing an FMIC for the PD150 as I understand it, which should be more than adequate....

[prc]

The OE one should do on a 130 though. The SMIC is an improvement over the OE SMIC, but you'll only see about 3hp gain from it (mind you that it's 3hp running high boost).

was thinking of the 150 intercooler but as the 130 doesnt have the lighter titanium wheel it could have lots of turbo lag

[prc]

Yes, you'll deffo get some lag from the setup, but you can reduce it with a nice exhaust, intake, and remap work.
The boost pressure need to get adapted to account for the added pressure drop as well.

We are just finishing a LCR Setup and then moving onto a Leon Cupra and Audi A3 so one of these should fit the Golf and the leon cupra should fit the TDI

Keep an eye on the site

Has anyone managed to fit a front-mounted one to an Ibiza 130 yet ?

already looking into it, But we have so many products on the go we trying to finish one set at a time.

The intercoolers are easiest as we are using the same core for all cars just chagning the pipework so its not a big job too do

Clutch is hopefully gonna be done in the coming month or so as both mine and addo's are on way out
