cav-mad-gav · 02-09-2005, 19:05

sorry if this is wrong post etc but what performace gains does a FMIC have?
or isit purely to keep the car cooler?
ie. isit going to bump my insurance up? lol

Might affect insurance for sure, if you have to declare mods.

Simple effect is a cooling of the air being taken from the turbo into the inlet manifold. Cooler air = better performance and no heatsoak symptoms from pushing hard. It is cooling for the car, but for the engine air, not inside the cabin.

I've already declared my intention to fit it - as it does not increase bhp at all it didn't impact my premium. Ditto for Milltek. However you DO need to declare it to avoid hassle. It's a pretty obvious alteration to the vehicle

In my case I may end up not even fitting it for a little while, just want to get that GB in as I've been wanting the FMIC since I had heatsoak problems with the standard car during warm weather. It seems like a good investment in preparation for custom coding the car later

Its going well guys , thanks to all on board so far .

We are still happy to fit this for you if any one needs it , the GB does not rule out this option ,

and if anyone wanted the ECU software at the same time .....................well I would think there would be some real good deals to be had ready for Autumn

cav-mad-gav · 02-09-2005, 19:56

whats GB and whats the ECU software?

Bigw2069 · 02-09-2005, 19:56

halfway there already on the first day, thats a good sign. maybe have it for my birthday

Do you (Forge) keep a stock of ten of these or will we have to wait on them being manufactured?

GB is a group buy, basically get discount for buying in bulk

ECU Software is alterations to the software contained within the 'brain' of your car, changing air/fuel amongst other things which is done for the purpose of increasing BHP and torque.

Tom_vRS · 02-09-2005, 22:12

So what deal can be done if we buy a remap too? Is it a custom map or a generic one?

devonutopia · 02-09-2005, 22:20

Probably should be a discussion thread, but does an FMIC really have NO bhp affect at all? even on a standard car I would have thought they extra cooling would produce a couple more horses?

The Seat sport one I saw fitted at Star gave just over 10bhp gain on consecutive runs

Thats what I thought - I think I'll leave my remapping until November time, as it means I get in a couple of RRs with turbo/FMIC but standard map. Time to see exactly what it does.

Choppa · 02-09-2005, 23:10

What would be the price for the remap and FMIC

(i could be jumping onto the slippery slope sooner than i thought

)

Well £510 delivered, then fitting + £400ish for a remap, depending on where you wanna go. Best budget £1000 for the lot though.

Choppa · 02-09-2005, 23:18

400 for the re-map??? but the website says it only goes from 130bhp to 165bhp

devonutopia · 03-09-2005, 08:33

Sorry, didn't realise you meant Awesome's - I was thinking of Custom Code / Jabba.
