Hi Guys

Just been reading the fmic post and found the banging guide below

http://www.polo9n.info/page.php?p=anlei ... upra%20TDI

I'm going to see if i can get it tanslated as it looks really comprehensive.

I've been wondering though how much are all the parts and can you get them from Seat?

Has anyone fitted one or had one fitted? I'm really intersted in getting one but need could do with a bit more info on cost and availability

Cheers

Cheers for that mate, it's saved me a job

Has anyone got any idea of cost for one of these i think that the cost is going to be the deciding factor for me.

Got a quote from Seat - with all the bits listed on the thread is comes to £887.17 inc VAT!!! Does anyone know what sort of performance increase you can expect?

you could probly get a forge intercooler for that much. ive herd with other suitable mods u can get around 20bhp from the intercooler aswell. however thats wat i "herd". it ll prbly just drive how ur car drives when its cold

Not enough to justify that figure! 10-18bhp max? As zedzo said you could probably get Forge for much less herefore making the upgrade more cost justifiable. A recommended upgrade IMHO but not at that price!

What engine is it for?
Teh seat on is alot better than the forge one, it's slightly bigger and in general is a bit better

If your just wanting an intercooler for a bit of performance then i'd go for something like a Focus ST one, it's small but effective and you can pick them up for ~£50 on ebay and then another ~£75-100 on piping and it's done.

What intercooler is on the VRS Pip? is it that same as the polo or is it more like the cupra's?

same as the polos tiny bit bigger. (same as the GT tho)

yeah same as gt, very poor.

i'm gonna get a ST one for now, then a seat one when i go hybrid

Cool let me know how you get on with the ST one i think i'm going to go down that route,

What are you going to do about the piping, getting some made up or can you modify the standard ones?

as it's a single pass i would need to run the pipe back on its self. (thats what will cost most)
tbh it's only a little bigger in surface area than the standard SMIC, but been on the front will be 100 times more efficient.
imho looks good too..

what sorta cost you lukin at with that complete? the forge is like 550 600 quid so if its considerably cheaper i mite go for it to

£200 at the most..

but don't expect to be able to runover 200+bhp.
this is my solution to get me to about 190ish.

i think it's a great idea, no one else seems to think so though
