i believe the seat sport one is handy 4 u to install as u only need to change 2 pipes , tho u might need to cut a small section of ur standard bumper , try contacting ANTFR , he has done this mod already

Yeh - I personally like the stealth/OEM look. I've got someone who can do the pipework, its just dimensions and if it fits without cutting.

well ur gonna be fitting a an IC built for a MK% golf onto an ibiza , best bet is to buy the MK$ cupra IC and brackets and get the pipes made in that case , least u know ur IC will be held firm n stable

How much would it cost for a local garage to fit it, as i'm seriously considering picking up one myself?

I've noticed that the cupra fmic is much bigger then the Forge one.

Could someone make a complete list of what parts you need for the conversion from a tdi130 smic to a cupra D fmic?

I have this picture from ETOS but do I need everything from this picture?

The problem with the Seat FMIC is that you need to start cutting the rear of the bumper to get it to fit and I think you do need all those pipes which makes it more expensive than the Forge version. Despite it being smaller I discovered that there's no real performance hit so save your cash and get the Forge unit.

If you need in fact all these parts then it will certainly be much more expensive,I've noticed the price of some parts and I must say that they're very expensive.
Cutting the bumper isn't that much of a problem I think if you do it carefully.

But if there's no difference in result between the cupra and the forge ic then i'll go for the forge.Well,it's not for the near future but someday I will place one.
