Poll: Front Mount Intercooler
One of my clients, Under Pressure Fabrication & Distribution is thinking of developing a front mount intercooler kit for the 1.8T. They're local here in Westminster, Southern California.
How many people would be interested in a kit? It would probably be cheaper than APR. The cheapest FMIC kit I've seen is $850.
Please let me know because this will determine if they will produce the kit or not. Thanks!

I actually am getting an S4 bumper in a couple of weeks, so the clearance issue isn't as big
a concern for me. But in order for this FMIC kit to sell well, it must fit under the stock bumper. Price is of course just as big, if not a bigger, concern.

on top of that, tuning is another issue.
The FMICs currently available are only <i>fully</i> optimized if a chip program is tuned specifically for it and the turbo setup it's used with. In order to get the most out of this proposed FMIC, someone will need to write a program that takes advantage of its internal volume and flow characteristics.
