Which one will fit the Fabia, it's says in compatibility that they both fit so it's confusing the hell out of me lol, I know I'll need the pipe kit as well but the intercooler on there site is £220 I think

Almost any intercooler can be made to fit, your just better of sticking to the tried and tested seat sport style intercoolers.

A few other members have similar intercoolers to that but you need a solid 180° bend return pipe and a length of pipe as wide as the intercooler before going back up to the manifold. Not exactly good for power and cooling temps.

Go for an airtec one

Are the air tech ones any good, there's not much difference in price from the dark side one once you add all the pipe work in

My mate on here logged temps and found airtec to perform the best.

Any of the Seat sport style above will do the job.

Just need brackets and then make up your pipework to fit, or go for the Darkside hard pipe kit if you like that, but if your willing to spend a bit of time measuring up you can make the pipe work up much cheaper using alloy piping/silicone joiners off E-Bay :)

and you know it fits properly 

If making your own pipe kit, take into account a pipe for the map sensor, the 70° angle top pipe and decent clamps.

I've opened up/modified my crash bar and it's definitely helped temps, you want as much as you can twin passes etc particularly dwell times.

Thanks mate to be fair for the hassle I may just look at one of those air tech kits
