hi guys and girls im new to the skoda scene after owning several civic type r's and im loving my new fabia vrs BUT i need some advice on a couple of things.....

 

EGR DELETE... ive bought a egr delete kit from darkside developments and i relise just fitting the hardware with out doing the software would put my car into limp mode and not run very well but what i need to know is can i have it deleted without having to have it mapped again because its already running stage 1 and dont really want to pay another £300 ???

 

FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER... can any body suggest a cheaper alternative to the airtec and forge units but is still sensible quality and how much i can expect to pay to get it fitted etc ?

 

thanks

darren

The EGR delete will do nothing except put the EML on, it's a pointless mod on a diesel.

ive noticed its kicking out quite alot of black smoke when i put my foot down. more then normal any way

Bad mapping.

Or boost leak possibly. 

 

Regarding the Fmic: 

best value has to be picking up a good condition second hand one. Keep your eye on the for sale section, but you may have to be patient. 

Have a search in this (Fabia 1) section for fmic - you should be able to find the thread posted a little while ago exploring a very cheap unbranded Chinese made Ebay fmic, along with a cheap ebay hardpipe kit. Not sure what it's total price was, but considerably less than the Darkside/Airtec setups.
