[Breezapom]

just a quick question was this the car at jkm rolling road day??

Hello mate... I recognise those wheels! Where did you get the FMIC and pipework?

 

[Tom.]

Welcome mate. Good to finally see someone else running the Spitfire boost pipes.

My car has one of the original sets of pipes produced by them on it. Good quality work.

Have a read matey. Spitfire is the company for the pipes

Really? Cheaper than the Forge jobbies? Cool.... want to get a FMIC setup for the summer months... but not spend a fortune on it! Is it possible?

 

[jnc90]

Sounds good mate! How much did the liquid gauge cost you if you don't mind me asking?

 

[thomasa]

Yes i was at the JKM rolling road in March - ran 169bhp on a generic remap, got it re - remapped by jabbasport and runs like a dream now, cant wait till the next rolling road at JKM to test it out.
Anyone know when the next JKM rolling road is?

Hi Mike, yes your alloys have transformed my car, thanks

Spitfire is the best pipes as they cover all the piping and include the EGR delete, have a word with mike@spitfire performance.

So you had the first kit installed, think its all ready for the world, has transformed my car!

Hi liquid guage cost about 180 i think, that was the kit that you fit into the air vent yourself. Or its over 200 if you get the fitted kit - stick to the kit its easy to do as long as you have a glue gun.

Did you get the FMIC from SEAT then?

 

[thomasa]

Thanks for the info mate. I want a FMIC setup but don't want to spend near enough £500 getting one! Going to wait for the summer months and see how the standard SMIC performs first anyway!

 

[thomasa]

Intake tempatures are the biggest improvement - before under full load managed to get up to 50 degrees +
Now most of the time ticks below 10 - on full load max 15 degrees, never above 20 degrees
Makes the power smoother and last longer - well worth it
