I did do a quick search, nothing came up

Does anybody happen to know the dimensions of the seat sport FMIC?

What do you need them for?

I'm the kind of person who'd rather do things the hard way, rather than buy the parts made to do the job....

Just weighing up the options. Really depends how cheap the SS unit can be bought now, may not be worth the hassle of using an alternative, but i'd like to know.

SS intercooler is about £300 from any dealer mate then about £200-300 for pipework from Forge.
There is a few people that have fitted them to the mk4 ibiza 130pd's etc.

I believe the price has dropped to low £200's for the IC itself, certainly with the TJ discount.
Pipework I'll probably do myself, just need the dims to see if I'll be doing a totally home brew job.

Hi @ll,
as u can see, i am new here.. this is my first post.
I am looking for more details about the piping of the sport smic..
I searched some threads, but i just saw pics about forge/samco pipes.. no details.. sizes..
Could someone tell me which pipes i have to buy to fit the intercooler to an ibiza 130ps asz?
It would be very nice..

best regards from germany

Contacting Forge is probably your best bet, but the last post in this thread, http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=192138 probably has enough detail to work out the pipes/parts required. ie. S prefix are straight, A are angled, C is a coupler. The number after an A is the degrees, the next number is the pipe size its for.

If you're looking for somebody else to have already done the hard work, give the guys at Forge a call and buy the parts from them

Ps. Welcome

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but has anyone used a Mercedes Sprinter FMIC?

Plastic end tanks have never been a good thing. Ask anybody who used to have a R5 GTT and run higher boost.
Plus, the inlet/outlet are on different sides, which won't help with the pipework.

OK. I know they're cheap (£60) because we buy them regularly when we damage them on our vans but had never really looked at one. I know they were a popular mod once upon a time.

Hope he can help me.

Have a nice happy new year @ll.
