Pro Alloy or Forge FMIC for your Leon?

[DPJ]

thats only my query that nothing is on "paper" as of yet for the results to the PA kit, but the proof is in the pudding, and as the IHI or BT boys run the PA kit, then that says alot I think, they have no issues and the PA kit works very well for the high powered setups

thing is for a mildly tuned K03S - DP, exhaust etc, is the PA kit overkill?

EDIT: Just seen robdons post, nice results

I looked at the PA system some time ago and they were really helpful. If I'd definitely been fitting a BT, I'd have gone for it without a doubt. In my opinion, the K03S, even in an advanced stage of tune, would struggle to fill it. I think Bill has said the same elsewhere.

the bottom one isnt an lc cooler mate (lc has both pipes on driverside) you would need to see the lc verion to compare dimensions, another thing is the actual pipes on that pro alloy one look to have a small circumference compared to the forge version . (saying that I cant see it being a huge difference)

The bottom one (Pro Alloy) is an LC kit. Single pass - pipe run back past the battery.

If Forge offered their LC and LCR kits for £200 less then I'm sure everyone would be all over them, I mean if PA can sell them for £594 inc.VAT and delivery for 10+ kits then Forge can too!!!

I believe Forge are working on a new intercooler kit just now.

yeah, if Forge do another group buy or at least lower their prices then I will be buying one but at the price they have, its just too much at the moment. Not criticising of course, as of course alot of work, testing and production has gone into the LC FMIC.

if the Forge FMIC was £650 incl. VAT then I would buy it

ah right ok, but still twin pass though?

 

[probee]

erm im not sure matey.. sorry

Both well known makes. The Pro Alloy one looks taller, but also looks thinner than the Forge one

advantage is of course the Pro Alloy one is single pass, so less of a pressure drop

any views on this at all?

and this comment is based on actual tests which you can provide data for?

no Bill, I was merely going on what I have read across a lot of other forums with single pass providing less of a pressure drop, silly me, should not believe everything I read eh.......

Have you tried asking them (on the phone or by PM) the best price they will do? (If you haven't, I think you should )

I have spoke to them Dave, they will do the usual 10% and maybe a little more but didn't say what.. they did ask if i would i be organising a GB but they do seem hassle and im receeding enough as it is..
