Fitting Fmic Without Another Remap

[jason-jm]

Im currently running a standard turbo

cat back exhaust
recirc DV
AMD Stage 1 remap
and a filter tomorrow..

If I fitted a fmic how would it run..

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Run fine but will just feel like it pulls alot harder

 

[jason-jm]

so thats good isnt it?

 

[Beaker™]

Yeah it should pull a bit harder especially further up the rev range, which is good yeah.

The ECU will 'trim' itself with the built in temp correction whatever map you have.

Therefore the lower the inlet temp, the more power being produced. As the ECU allows more ignition advance, and more petrol? etc due to the air being more cold/dense.

Or at least that my understanding of it?

Take your car out at night in the cold (this time of year is perfect), and it'll feel like its pulling harder than it does in the middle of summer in the day. Thats the same sort of effect you'll get from the intercooler.

ive got same mods but turbo back exhaust and its fine mate!

 

[jason-jm]

What will I need to get it to fit?

much work? and will it sit behind my bumper?

SO DOES THAT MEAN IN THIS COLD WEATHER IT WILL PULL EVEN HARDER

[ian_cupra]

[Forbez]

Not in this game it aint.

Just get it, you wont regret it, it pulls so hard in this weather, I love it.

 

[ian_cupra]

noticed mine was peaking higher boost last nite, its awesome, the cold weather helps so much

Yeah, the colder the weather the harder it pulls. If you need time to save up then nows perfect as the weathers cooling off for the winter anyway so you wont 'need' an intercooler as much over the winter. Why not save up over the winter and get it fitted ready for next spring/summer.

 

[jason-jm]

And they go for about £700 is it?

is forge the only one worth having?

 

[Roelích]

Jabba do one which I think is a similar price.

Or you could do the Laguna one.

 

[jason-jm]

Jabba quoted me £690 for standard thickness or £700 for thicker one which means removing aircon...(NO THANK YOU)

Would jabba be better than forge?

hmm laguna might not be a perfect fit

Have a search for FMIC theres a few options. The DIY Laguna cooler is cheap and very effective too.
