Is it really worth it though - it's pretty tiny and side mount get's no air flow...If everyone's complaining about how bad the Forge FMIC is surely getting a SMIC is going to be no better than stock...

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Let's just throw another one into the mix - Forge's Version of the Seat Sport intercooler as a kit.
FMINTSSIBP - Forge Motorsport Sports Style Intercooler - Seat Ibiza MK4 1.8T | eBay
This *should* fit the 9N3 Polo GTI if the SEAT Sport one does too, they're designed for the same car.2019 132TSI Tiguan

You are right, but with the additional thickness (more than twice the thickness of stock), it has about the same surface area of the Forge or APR intercoolers. The airflow into there wouldn't be awesome, but it would be way better than stock... It's been pretty much all covered in this thread...:

If you want a cooler with outlets on the same side.....what about a cooler from a Ford XR6 turbo? They are a Garrett core, decent size and cheap as chips.
I had one on my old 200sx and it worked a treat. Was about 3x larger than the stock side mount. Cost me $40 for the cooler, and i bought a $200 piping and silicone kit from ebay. A few hours work and voila.

Yeah I've read in multiple locations that the XR6T intercooler is quite a good upgrade over side mounted stuff (like the 200sx), and for some 4WD's. Would need to know someone handy with pipework to cheaply do the fabrication.Originally posted by nightphotographer View PostTrack Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Is there any more excitement around this?
I'm still keen on the THS cooler (assuming Redliner's experience goes well), but would like to minimise the cost (shipping for cores, shipping for brackets).
Might not be a massive upgrade from the Forge core I have now, but I'm sure someone will be happy with my old core with Summer coming up.
Redliner, did you get the discount in the end?Comment

Hi Noone.Originally posted by noone View Post
Was going to do the install today but the person who was going to weld the map sensor flange fell through. It will have to wait till next week.
They didn't respond to my email about the discount. I didn't hassle them about the discount code as I found it on a forum and didn't know what it referred to.Last edited by Redliner; 09-09-2012, 07:24 AM.Comment
