Doesn't look the correct size to me, too wide and not tall enough.

Do a search and look at the size/shape of the Seat Sport one and the Forge one.

No, not without doing some research. But mk4 ibiza 20VT's have inlet mani on the same side as the turbo outlet and thats why have inlet and outlet on the cooler on the same side.

LCR's have inlet mani the opposite way and have a single pass intercooler and mk4 Golfs and LCR's have a very close setup.

im pretty handy with mechanical things, so doing the job wont be much of a problem . but do you think they may be a problem with the air flow coming back on it's self if i take the pipe around the back of the intercooler and back up in to the inlet.iv seen the other fmic with in and outlet on the same side, but i aint got 700 squids lol...any ideas? or recomend any other fmic for around 200..300 mk..thanks

think i might give this a go if no ones done it yet.will keep you posted on how things turn out......just one thing do you think that IC will be much better then the stock one? also do you think it would be a good idea to put the stock one on too behind the fmic if theres room.....

Do you have a Cupra with a FMIC or FR with a SMIC? The Cupra front mount intercooler has been proven to handle over 300bhp so unless you only have a FR there is no point in changing the intercooler unless your after big power.

I would only run the one cooler mate.

Your turbo will max out at ~240bhp so you dont need anything over the top.

Loads of universal coolers on ebay, its just getting them to fit behind the bumper and sorting the piping out thats the pain in the ass.

very nice whats your thoughts on it?..is yours the 1.8t

yea its the 1.8t..
im really chuffed with it. ive noticed a bit of difference in the tough and it wasnt that hard to fit it only took about 2 and a half hours to fit i have got pictures but i dont know how too put them up..lol.. i had to do a few buts of cutting out on the crash bar because forge didnt do a food job and the adoptor for the map sensor didnt come with any gasget as they say it needs a air tight seal but apart from that really good...
