Cool looking at getting a FMIC

HI

i've been looking at getting a front mounted intercooler, and i,ve been searching the inter to find one, i,ve found one on.

http://www.flat4online.co.uk/catalog...nt-intercooler

it's only £275 and it claims that it is good as the HKS one, can any one give advice and are they that hard to fit.

I'd spend that little bit more and get A Hybrid FMIC along with decent clips ala Mikalor.

Fitting is not too difficult, just needs some time and attention to detail to do a nice job.

I'd keep it the way it is buddy. Unless your planning on 400 bhp and over.

As Dan 2 said, you don't need to get an fmic unless your going for alot more than 400. FMIC will increase your lag time and make it feel less responsive.
