Hey there,

To cut a long story short, my new turbo setup on my car hasn't been performing and has had many a person scratching their heads.

Today I have been been replacing boost pipe etc to try and track down the huge loss of boost and the awful spool up time.

LOL, check out my FMIC !! A huge split running down both ends.

At idle you only have to blip the throttle and massive amount of air comes out of the split.


So, this leads me on to the next question. For such a an expensive FMIC would you expect it to do this and would you think I have any come back re warranty or not. It is a few years old. Does it look like a manufacturing fault ?

I also guess that it can be fixed be re-welding it ?

 

At least it's a straight-forward fix...

Once you found it !

DunxC

 

Second one I have seen now......

 

Easily fixable I assume Martyn ? Just a weld job ?

 

first ive seen , tbh is it bad welding ? you can get a new on pretty cheap id have thought . as abouve aswell atleast its nice and straight forward to sort out .

 

Where can you get APS intercoolers cheap? I'd like a cheap one

 

Me too pls

 

Fortunately for our customer his was still under warranty and APS sent a brand new replacement.....
