This is the best picture i have of the front grill.
but you see the red line pretty good but if you want i can make a better and closer picture of it.

That's a very nice job mate! That's also a mother of a chunk of alloy you've got there.

seat cupra r fmic i think. nice work on the front grill btw.

[instigator]

thanks

it took me about 2 hours only adjusting the bloody red line.
but it was well worth the effort!

The intercooler is from a Seat Ibiza cupra 1.9TDi with 160Hp.
and it will be installed this saturday.

haah i stand corrected , man that things gonna be a mission to get in there . i know how much of a pain it was with the forge fmic.

[Grant]

would it be possible to order that core through vw? since its a vag part.

Get the part number and give it a go.

Golfloon gets Seat stuff through a contact in the UK. Try him. Bear in mind the cost of a Forge or other FMIC kit. Forge is about 13-1400.

since today me and a friend have installed the cupra FMIC,
it's not that hard to fit it in a Polo
result looks great and the only hard thing about it was to cut away a bit of plastic on the bumper etc.
but it's not that much and in about 2 - 3 hours it was all fixed.
i have pictures on my cellphone but that thing died an hour ago so ya'll have to wait for pictures till monday or so

and if you have the ordernumber you can order it by a local VW dealer normally.

Good news.

Did you have someone fabricate all the interconnects, or are they available from Seat / Vag?

diddn't know there was a new topic about this but i will also post it here

yesterday me and a mate have been busy to fit the intercooler on the Polo.
wassn't so hard to do.
a bit of plastic from the bumper needed to go and a plastic holder for the grill that is useless and not visable.
the piping from Forge was disigned for an Seat Ibiza but it fitted perfect on the polo as well.

this is the result after 2 hours of puzzle



ps: better and more pictures will follow after my cellphone works again!

Is there a Forgea piping kit made for the seat fmic ? asking beceause I didnt find anything like that on there web site...

[h100vw]

I was asked to split the intercooler stuff from vwindahouse's red devil thread. Hence the new thread.

How much does the SEAT intercooler weigh?

The reason I ask is that turbo diesels have different requirements when it comes to intercooling compared to petrol turbos.

Interesting Article...

What I read from it is that the Diesel intercooler is likely to be better at quick heat dissipation as the turbo works longer and harder.

Assuming there was not a substantial pressure drop, it SOUNDS like a diesel intercooler would be a good substitute, if not overkill...
