Just installed my FMIC - page 1 - IDI Engine - VWDiesel.net The IDI, TDI, and mTDI source.

• Just installed my FMIC by boosted_diesel_84 on 01 Nov, 2009 18:09
• Its off of my friends SRT4 turbo Neon. its a good fit, had to do some notching on the body, and yea i know, its not the cleanest install, but its a daily/winter driver. it made an instant difference u can actually feel in the seat,  deffenitly worth it.

  Thanks, dont know what the difference was because i built the whole engine at that time, so there was a lot changed, the car still feels slow to me, but i am used to my 12 sec 1/4 mile MR2 haha.

  Thanks!, its a really tight fit, especially since i kept the A/C, there is absolutly no room to fit anything thru that area, with the receiver/dryer right there and everything else, so thats the best i could come up with, and it hasnt poped a coupler off yet,

• what kind of pump do you have on there?  you need a good one to make them boogey.  but even if ud get 200hp like alot of people shoot for it still wouldn't be a 12 second car,

  just one a local shop did for me, claim they did some mods to it, i really wish i would have sent it to Giles, but oh well, its done now, i am not going for Hp or fast 1/4, this is just my daily driver that i want to be fun to drive and good mpg..

• This thing needs a zender air dam to hide that fmic.
  
  Looking good!
