There was no sarcacsm, sorry if it seemed that way. If the 1.8T's came with a SMIC, then I have no clue what VW came with a FMIC.

 

no i was being sarcastic, i know damn well the is no stock 1.8t w/ a FMIC

 

being a dsm guy i know this is not a good idea the stock dsm intercooler can hold up to 21 ( one run and its heat strok) i would run one with 17 psi all day but nothing past that... Ive read many threads on puttin them together to make one and after all the work and how it will performe its not worth it at all...... and haveing two as u are saying one as an ice pack isnt a good idea! to much time to get to the tb... turbo lagggg

This is the intercooler not the one i got but same thing audi and vw made it

 

i got dsm blue top injectors dsm tdo5 turbo no shaft play cx/std manifold dsm down pipe vw audi ic dsm bov crushed cap all for 150$

 

I was thinking about running 2 DSM SMIC in each fender to. Anyone out there tried this yet? The "welding" together of them seems interesting.... but I would rather have them tucked away out of view.

 

If your talking about running two seperate smic, thats gonna be one heck of a maze for air flow. Your gonna have a real nicepressure drop too. By the time you spend the $ on two SMIC and piping/couplers/clamps you'll be +/- a CCA or JRC fmic.

Like Joseph said, not every fmic install requires you to completely hack up your bumper for all the world to see you IC.

 

I said hack up the bumper cover.

For a decent sized FMIC, you invariably lose the bumper support. Remember, tall + thick gets you further than wide in the IC game, and a tall IC with bumper support is a recreational impossibility.
