Leon Cupra AUQ FMIC (inlet outlet same side)?

[antzleoncupra]

Hi,

Im thinking of doing a universal FMIC on my Leon AUQ. I have been told its easier to get one with the inlet and outlets on the same side? Is this correct and will it affect performance at all?

What do you guys reckon?

I have a Forge front Mount intercooler and yeah its easier to have both outlets on the same side as for affect perfomance i'd say its best for the way it installs and if it proved to get more gains having inlet on one side and an outlet on the other side then Forge would have manufactured it that way, hope that helps

forge do make one with the outlets on opposite sides, its for the LCR, the LC has them on the same side as it only has one intercooler, and the LCR has two, you can put the LCR inlet mani on the LC and then have the one with opposite outlets.

i am also interested in this aswell, my car is a tdi but i would require an intercooler with inlet and outlet same side, and i came across this kit on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FMIC-SEAT-LEON-1-8T-INTERCOOLER-KIT-99-05_W0QQitemZ400068369158QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5d25eedb06&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 now the kit seems to be the same sized intercooler for the tdi as the 1.8t, no idea about how good this kit is

Hi buy an Intercooler with the inlet and outlet on the same side (twin pass). I don't think you can re-route the pipework back to the inlet manifold unless you have the Cupra R inlet of course as PhilC does.

Intercooler and Pipework will probably cost around £200-£250 as I think that's what i spent in the end.

You will want to look into purchasing a Turbo Intake pipe if you do not already have one to cope with incresed pressure

thanks for your help guys Turbo intake pipe will also be another addition when i decide to get it remapped by AMD
