FMIC now fitted.

[sambryant]

hi all, just finished fitting my front mounted intercooler at 10 pm sunday night
that front bumper is a right PITA to get off.
im really pleased with the cooler and how well it fits, the pipe work is top quality.
i have lost my fogs but i have never used them in the 18 months that i have owned the car so im not to bothered. now i have good reason to fit a cold feed to were the fog used to be

i havnt really had a good test drive yet, but from what i can tell, the car seems to pull harder but at the same time super smooth. also car pulls really hard on part throttle.
here is a few pics, while half way through the build, more to come tomorrow when i can take some pics with the bumper on.









as i said im really happy, with the quality, price, looks. i really recommend this kit

At last you been slacking lol , looks good mate , I found putting the bumper on the hardest part

 

[sambryant]

thanks dan, the bumper flew back on, taking it off was the hardest part because i was unsure were all the fixings were. those 2, 8mm nuts inside the wing, my god talk about stressed lol. all worth it in the end tho

hey a tip. For removing and fitting the bumper back on unscrew the outside of the headlights and angle them outwards. Gives you more room to refit the bumper.

Looks nice mate, as its so thick is there much of a space between the back of cooler and aircon rad?

 

[sambryant]

thanks adam. id say there is 35-40 mm gap from memory
turbin can i have the link to the fogs you have bought ?

Nice one Sam, looks good mate.

Mine has turned up today so I'm told

Identical kit to yours with the red hoses. So there's no way of keeping the fogs with this fmic? And you can feel a difference in the cars' drive already?

And finally, wana fit mine? Lol

 

[LEE69]

Black hoses would have been better imho.
Nice one.

 

[wayne lcr]

well done mate must admit ive got to get my fitted asap

 

[t0m]

Na red! Makes a nice change and looks mean, IMO

 

[wayne lcr]

my piping is red also but iam spraying the chrome pipie black already done the cooler and mapp pipe

 

[tyrer]

Looks spot on mate, really tempting me to sort this out

 

[Willie]

Can I suggest that when you do this make sure you can get to the juiblee clip fixtures easily to allow you tighten these up when the bumper is back on.
Makes it an easier life later on.

 

[wayne lcr]

did you get some off those clamps willie

 

[Seat Gooner]

weyyyy heyyy sam mate thats where you have been hiding out

Naaa lee red hoses all the way keep the arsenal faith
