Blew up my intercooler today. Not sure if I should look into a smic or a fmic. Any helpful experiences with different products?? Thanks.
Interesting....would you have the measurements of the pipes you fabbed up?Here's my thread with a couple pictures of different intercoolers: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=447716
my fmic is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321413280240
the only problem is that it didn't have enough long straight pieces so i had to make my own otherwise its solid. Been driving with it for 50k km now.

What do they charge for it?I went with a custom made one from HPA Motorsports. I tried to get a FMIC for the beetle but we couldn't make it fit with the round bumper so they made a massive SMIC and squeezed it in the stock location.
It's a version that they use in their twin turbo applications. I was able to retain the stock piping locations but increased the piping diameter all the way through the system.
They are local and can stand behind their products so I an happy with this choice.
I'm having the same SMIC kit put in on Monday with my 17/22, so I'll let you know.$326.51 for kit. $78.85 shipping. While shipping is steep its fast It's DHL and takes 3 to 4 days.not sure what someone would charge to do the install.
