    Intercooler woes....

    Whilst in the process of replacing my PCV system over the last couple of days, I noticed, my Intercooler (big one) is cracked right on the hose join next to the BPS. the crack is about 2-3" long and opens up when I flex the hose coupling. Gutted!! (It does explain my boost issues thou...)

    Anyway, before I continue with PCV install and refill the cooling system, I would like to discuss my options.

    There are many companies providing FMIC for P2R models inc, IPD (not FMIC - use OE fitment), Phuzzy motorsport, GSX-FMIC (races60r.com) and I believe Bell make one?

    Any others I've missed and has anyone got any experience with FMICs for V70R P2 and any advice they care to divulge? I'm all ears

    So far, this is my cheapest and best option:

    I could just fit an oe one but they cost £280. Which is cheaper I know, but after reading up about stock Intercooler efficiency (or lack of) i think I'd be better off with a FMIC for better mpg, no heat soak, increased bhp, better throttle response.
