Can any answer this.

Why does a front mount intercooler need to be so big!!!i.e Forge
Shorley remounting to front grille is going to cool much better than existing position. Has anyone out there tried to install a smaller fmic and what were the results, i want to upgrade mine but cannot justify paying for the next holiday for the boys at forge:lol:

If money is an issue why not just get a laguna fmic? Costs about a 1/3 of the price of the forge. There are plenty of people on here that have done it with good results or try searching laguna fmic.

That way you get a holiday and FMIC;)

I know what you mean i saw a universal intercooler on ebay priced 99 quid (28.5''x9''x2.5'') then you could buy the intercooler pipework from forge and adjust it to suit??? Then again the forge fmic looks the b*llocks!

Forge one does look awesome. Thats what I want but i need to justify paying the price of it. I keep checking the for sale section, Supa Dupa Cupra off here got one 2nd hand for cheap(ish). Looks great.

With summer fast approching it would be great to have one

Laguna one is huge as well!! why does it need to be the size of a bus!

I understand it is a pig to fit!

The universal units look the nuts as well but dont cost £650

The side mount is tiny! Best bet is laguna if the forge is too much, the smic is fine when std, but when remapped the forge was designed for a remapped ibiza.

admittidly i was very lucky i managed to get my intercooler (forge) and TIP fitted by m0rk for just 500 sheets, If so many people are after them on here why not contact forge to see if they cn do a group buy on there intercoolers fitted or deliverd to bring the price down, Also if they could do it for the universal as these are even cheaper. Just a thought.


Just to rub salt in the wounds...:p
