Is it possible to fix my TMI as a FMI?

Sorry it wasn't for my GT but for my GTti. But its a similar sized engine bay and layout so should be at a similar cost.

Use a resonable size, I think something like the Autofixed Intercooler would be perfect. You won't have to brew a cup of tea whilst waiting for the thing to fill with air :p

You can search on this forum for one or someone can post a picture or dimensions up.

You love my cooler dont ya mate? :D

Its true what he says thou. No 'my cooler is bigger than yours' nonsense. This cooler does not take ages to fill with air, which limits lag and is good for 300-400 hp.

I thought it was the best option you could buy, shame he stopped selling kits. I'm horrified that people pay £600+ for blitz/hks/greddy coolers which are no better quality than ebay items.

I learned sometine new ... thanks Quit simple ....

We i heard from some bunch on clouns that .
The longger the pipes between the Turbo and Intake Manifold
the greater the lag ...

TMI has far less piping that FMI

I gess the real Question is " Do clouns talk the truth ? "

Yep theyre rite, the longer the tube the greater the pressure loss accompanied by a slight increase in efficiency (heat reduction)

I have an autofixed FMIC...

The cooling seems spot on, but for some daft reason the pipework runs down under the lower beam on both sides. I'll get it adjusted at some point in the future. Got plenty more to be worrying about before that though.

Toby - In your opinion if you are still runing a normal CT9 like myself albeit with full decat, exhaust, filter, iridiums, RRFPR, Walbro etc would you say the advantages of a FMIC are not enough to justify the cost? Even the £300ish required for an AB88 'cooler is beyond me at the moment but it was on my wish list! Currently I don't intend to change/hybridise the turbo but as Im running 0.9bar was wondering whether the extra heat being generated was meaning I was doing damage by no running a FMIC or better mani?

Hi Mike,

I would say if you want to run more than 1 bar then yeah either get a good FMIC or something like the ARC, wrap the throttle body side pipes with heat reflective material as well ,there are quite a few different aspects you can change to aid cooler charge temps.

Raise the rear of the bonnet which will help rid a lot of heat, use a good manifold with high flow rates like ours and concentrate on inlet temps. The stock EFI pipe runs right over the manifold which will contribute to some of the heat the CT9 sees, fine on stock boost, not when you go over.

If you plan to stay under fuel cut then the stock top mount will be fine, a lot of Jap owners use to run the K24 bolt on kits with stock manifold and stock top mount so you won't need to worry about a FMIC until you begin to extract full potential from the hair dryer.

Thanks,

T
