Featured Replies

Just seen this posted on their facebook - noted as good for 230bhp.

Thoughts?

Edit - it don't fit

Edited by JoshH

Yep, it says for all mk4 platform cars with ASZ engine.

For Fabia/Polo/Ibiza, it specifically links to their Seat Sport FMIC kit as this won't fit.

Surely you'd want a FMIC if your wanting anywhere above a stage 1 anyway?

Yeah Just read that dude :(

My bad

They can cope with remap power just about. Problem is the core is so thick, lack of airflow to it and through it is a major problem

Beyond 200bhp wouldnt you be better with the Seat Sport FMIC?

Looks ideal for those with a pd150 or a mildly mapped hybrid who dont want the lag associated with a FMIC

Must admit I noticed no lag increase from a SMIC to a FMIC. My hybrid originally came with a SMIC too :no:

I did! :sweat:

I'm pretty much used to it now though.

I didn't ever notice lag either tbh Joe!

I can see this being a benefit for pd150 owners as you said, spoke to them over Facebook and they said if 5 people are interested they'll get a Fabia version made up :)

Haha I must be imagining it then (I have JoshH's old FMIC & pipework).

The noise on full throttle in 2nd more than makes up for it!

Yeah man!

Wait til you get that hybrid bolted up :)

Wanna sell the intercooler now :p !? Got a Fabia to fit it to haha

Hmm interesting! I'm still waiting for this site sponsor to reveal their kit!
