New Custom Made Parts

[MIS.18T]

guys just had a new custom intercooler made and a custom air intake plate, top and bottom tanks on the fmic its prob one of the nicest fab work ive seen hope you enjoy.,...............

Are you going to spray the intake plate (matte?) black to hide it behind the grill, or do you want it visible in all its glory for all those who know what they're looking at?

Nice fab work...What model of Audi A4 is that?? Looks like DUB20V's Golf...

[fuzion]

I agree with manaz on that one! Looks very nice tho!

id be a bit weary with that intake tho, says "suck me water" lol

[MIS.18T]

yeah it runs into the std air box, and its not a boat so should be sweet. had been used in the pi$$ down rain and no probs.

that intercooler looks tiny considering the car is running a GT28, can we safely say its never going to see forged internals?

untill it blows a rod no, i dont see an need to atm. and the cooler is the same size as the guys use in alot of porsche cars they build, you need to know about fmic before saying its to small, a well built fmic isd alot different to a rice cooler you can buy, and im only running 2" pipe from turbo to fmic and 2.5" from fmic to inlet.

oh and a gt28 is not big btw.

Looks great. I dont think youll have any trouble with the intake. You'd need to hit a puddle over 1/2 a metre deep for the water to reach high enough to get through the air box and into the throttle body. I really cant see it being an issue

I don't see how people asking questions about water pick up issues being haters, but ok .

looks like a pretty nice bit of fab. can't wait ti'll the bar's painted & on.

I've read about 5 of your last comments (not just in this thread) and it seems like your the only hater on here, playa lol.

Anyway, nice mods! Are they just for aesthetics or do they make a big difference in air flow?

I feel like I'm chillin in da hoooddd

Bingo! I'm not a mk4 golf turbo hater at all! I severely dislike some people's attitudes to this forum and the people on it though!

Looks great. I agree with Branko's words. it does LOOK small. I'm sure you've spent a gazillion dollars on it though because it's bound to be perfect.

I understand that but I know of a MKIV thats going for 330+ kw atw and it has a MUCH bigger intercooler. Despite the design, you can't beat pure surface area and volume. Out of curiosity what were your motivations for installing this kind of intercooler and your exhaust? Reliability, looks, money laundering etc ?

Just because it has a bigger intercooler doesn't mean it actually needs a bigger intercooler.

As for not being about to beat pure surface area and volume - I beg to differ, but I reckon I could design a huge intercooler with ****house performance (without even trying! ). Design and efficiency are critical when you're talking about fluid dynamics (airflow gets treated as a fluid when working in these areas of design).

It's probably sensible when aiming for significantly higher-than-stock power targets to over-engineer, particularly if after hitting 330kW ATW a decision is made to up the boost further to reach 400kW ATW - the last thing you want to be doing then is junking the intercooler you just spent significant money on and having to go to something bigger again.

Hmmmm, money laundering. Oh to have more money than I know what to do with...
