It is as when I first got the car and had a play it felt awesome but that was while it was still cold and raining. Ever since the sun's come out it's still driving well but it just feels it's lacking and not as much to give especially with the 25 degree heat we had yesterday. Never realised heat soak made that much difference. How much more would I be able to get power wise when I get an FMIC fitted and the map tweaked? You've run a VT2 before what was yours like?
Cheers
A FMIC will not add power it just helps to keep it when the air temps get hot. A FMIC will make alot of difference to your setup as you have a large turbo getting very hot sucking in alot more air then the tiny SMIC can ever cope with. Take it back to Allards and get a proper FMIC fitted now 
! Power wise you should see about 220-230 bhp on a dyno depending on make of dyno,your car,weather .....

Thanks for that. I wouldn't mind going to Allards for an FMIC but they're slightly far away and wouldn't want to get one delivered as it seems a bit of a tight fit so probably best left for them to do. I'll be getting the Forge one as I've read nothing but good things about them from fabia owners and I've received a very attractive price from them too. Thanks for the advice and I'd be very happy with the 220-230 mark so looking forward to that.
Forge FMIC is good. Allards Skoda VRS PD 130 FMIC is bigger when i was looking at FabiaTDI`s FMIC ( Forge) when he was at Allards last.
They both fit the same but no doubt Forge is cheaper.
yea alex will have to meet up tommorow night when i'm all finished you can take me out in yours and i will take you out in mine should be a good laugh!!! can't wait for propane injection to come now i have the money in the bank but just convincing myself about having a bomb in the back of my car and another fillercap on the outside hahaha!!! would like to go for a spin in devonmikeyboy's car
You are welcome to come for a ride whenever you or anyone else is down Devon way. Don`t think of it as a bomb more as a highly flammable liquid stored a few feet from you that needed a good oxygen rich source ( NOS ) to send you back to the future.... 
well mate next time i'm around devon i will hold you to that haha, i will get the propan i'm just going to wait and se what jabba manage to get out o the car today, well i'm of to jabba now ill let you all know later how it goes!!

i heard this same thing about the forge intercooler, i am currently running the forge cooler and when i mentioned this to allards they said ti will restrict me very slightly for 2 reasons, one the size and depth of the intercooler and the second it its not making the full use of the intercooler having both the in/out air feeds on the same side, im sstill stiking witht he forge intercooler anyway just thoughi i would see what u lot have to say.
know this is the wrong part of the forum to put this but on the allards web page do the phase 3 conversion price lists include vat? just looked now lol and shocked myself at the thought of the price if not including vat lol
Sorry to disappoint but yes all Allards prices are plus VAT as stated at the very bottom of the website. The majority of companies now do this which is annoying but the way business is.
Well people, i'm back but my car bloody isn't they have blown it up!!!!
only joking haha i dropped it off first thing this morning then jumped in my bro's car and drove to the english/scottish border and had 9 hours to get there and back we thought if he gives it some stick we would easily do that ummmmm no! got back at about 8:45 lol spoke to jabba and going to pick it up tomorrow, with regards to how much power i spoke to nick at about 2:00 and he said we were at about 222bhp and 500+ nm but mike was still working on it then i phoned him at about 4:45 he said he would check and call me back and he never called me back![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")

Sooty this game is never cheap.
Good to hear it's getting there Mike, will be even better to see it. Good thing you're patient driving all that way back and forth. You went to the scottish border for secret mods? Steve is crazy. I've ordered my FMIC, I'm glad but kind of regretting the decision a bit as I haven't got the money so really shouldn't be buying anything. Oh well I'll earn it back in expenses from work, just need to drive 1500 - 2000 miles to get it lol!
