Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
On the LC you dont need the adaptors the MAP sensor fits directly into the hole.

So am i
You would want to copy my guide i am going to be doing for this twimpass intercooler as it will take the same route for the pipework as yours The map sensors on the petrol are slightly bigger than the diesel ones, but the forge map replacement pipe comes with different size map moutings pieces so you can fit either petrol or diesel map sensor into it, hope that helps B3LSY

Cheers fella, your a star. If you could jot down which silicone bits and pipework you used with lengths/angles, that'd be awesome. Any reason you went for the IC with 3" in/out as opposed to the one he sells with 2.5"?

Because the intercooler with 2.5" outlets is actually a smaller core, and the core ive got will fill the nice gap in the middle of the bumper perfect

Today i set out to get my fmic fitted, dan (s1 pru) came down to help out as he was suppying the angle grinder to cut some of the crash bar out
First of was to remove the bumper
Remove the old tiny intercooler
Next step was to cut some of the crash bar out, dan got to work on that
I then got to work on replacing the intercooler system and putting the new forge map sensor pipe into place

See the two metal struts infront of the radiator at 45 degress angle, these were stopping the fmic coming up in between the crash bar and these, there was only a 2.5 inch gap inbetween these struts and crash bar, and the thickness of the fmic is 3 inch, i was thinking of cutting the struts out, but after strugers1 (karl) done this to fit his allards fmic, it weakened the slam panel and it the bonnet would only shut with quite a bit of force and the slam panel sagged slightly. By cutting into the crash, this would bring the fmic closer to the bumper for more visibility to others
and maybe slightly better airflow being that tad more forward. Plus the crash bar is still very strong i hope 
I hope that explains it mate brad1
Guest
Animals cutting the crash bar!
looks smart mate bet you've noticed the difference?
Haha, indeed lol, dan was having fun
Yeah it pulls much harder which is good brad1
