Conrad Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Not long gone BPU and wanted to get a FMIC before I went on the rollers. Any suggestions on which one to get and how much I should be looking to pay? Also, what kind of approx gains should I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have the same query.... I dont think you get much gain unless your standard IC is worn out though...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Greddy 3 row is nice if you really want an FMIC, but it's not necessary at BPU. Unless your stock IC is in a bad state it'll be fine, some people are running a small single on an uprated SMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I dont think you will see any gains over a smic.. paul e is doing good deals on new replacment smic... or turbofit will do you a good price on a fmic;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 If you decide on a front mount. A Greddy 3 Row has just been fitted on mine replacing my stocker. Very happy with fitment & the entire kit is included. No fabrication of pipes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I would recommend either the BLITZ LM V-Spec or the GReddy 2 or 3 row FMIC. I would personally go with the Blitz though if it was my money due to design and build quality. I can do very good deals on all of these, if you would like details please let me know.

Conrad Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 i went for the Blitz intercooler [qimg]http://hometown.aol.co.uk/LEE2SARE/intercooler1.JPG[/qimg] How much was that Lee if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 How much was that Lee if you don't mind me asking? about £850 if i remember correctly about 2 years ago. Bought it through Envy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 nic can you give me a price on the blitz intercooler like lees? and also the greddy 2 row please? and the delivery time if ordered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I have the blitz on my car, really well made bit of kit and the pipes fit well, you can even keep the stock airbox without the pipe in the wing fouling it. Nic can you buy just the core, mine is a little tired now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Don't forget proper ducting to force the air though the IC not around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURT Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 as nic has said.. greddy or blitz is defo the way to go imo.. if you dont intend to go further than bpu a 2 row will be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I would recommend either the BLITZ LM V-Spec or the GReddy 2 or 3 row FMIC. I would personally go with the Blitz though if it was my money due to design and build quality. I can certainly vouch for the quality of the blitz unit.....got one from nic and fitted on mine and is very well built unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
