Stu, I have to agree with everyone, your thread is brilliant so far. I have been avoidant of fitting a FMIC for a long time, owing to Forge’s price tag. However, totalling up your list, I came to roughly £300 all in. Did you achieve a similar figure? Reading Robdon’s write up of a similar universal intercooler, it seems that the performance is excellent?
I, for a while, also had the same cold air feed fitted as you using 80mm black neoprene ducting leading to a BMC CDA. I ended up having to make DIY battery relocation brackets so that just enough room could be achieved to fit everything including my battery cover. However, there was not a mm spare and I actually found the feed of air to be average, over the OEM part.
I ended going down the route of removing my fog lights and having a twin air feed (same as Skorchio & Probee, amongst others). The performance appears to be much better, and the cost was relatively small too (70mm Neoprene ducting X 2metres, a plastic ‘y piece’- which was purchased from Wickes and is actually a household guttering piece, and a few other bits and bobs). It may be something that you might want to consider once the weather comes back to us?
Keep up the good work!
