Fitted my $360 FMIC today

[Pommie]

It took around 6 hour to do and I managed to fit it without taking off the bumpers so all well. I will colour the top hose matt black to match the standard look of the car. I may also paint the fron of the cooler matt black also.
Got a few more goodies to fit then she will be back on the road.

Nice, what brand and where from?

[Bflat]

That must have been tight without taking the front bar off?

Were the requisite hoses and clamps included in the price?

[VWindahouse]

Looking good mate, nice job! Don't suppose you had the core pressure tested??

[Pommie]

what brand and where from?

It a CX Racing from here

It was a squeeze but better than I thought. Yes all the fittings were included and the quality if the clamps, pipes and hoses are spot-on.

Don't suppose you had the core pressure tested??

No

[Blitzen]

Link please??

[vwthunder]

That looks like a hell of a lot of piping, how did you secure the core in there, normally you have to weld tabs on

[GoLfMan]

what does it attach to at the front?!?!

[Pommie]

Link please??

Cable ties - only joking. It came with brackets and bolts on to the bumper support.

Sorry mate. Which kit is it. Did a search for 'Polo GTI', but nothing came up. Is it a MK4 GTI kit??

That's the one. They don't do the Polo in the States.

Nice work!

Will be interested to hear your impressions when it's on the road.

[Njay]

wow there stuff is pretty cheap, they have a k04 turbo for $300

wonder what the quality is like

[kangfu]

Only one way to find out. Someone do it first

[seangti]

any feedback, impressions and testing would be greatly appreciated. I've always been sceptical of cheap intercoolers, though that's based on the jap import market rather than any first hand experience. Perhaps even that piping with a good locally manufactured core could be cost effective.
