Lovely build @sam_9n.

I’m looking at FMIC for my own 9n3, which did you go for in the end? Did you have to do any fabrication to make it fit?

I have my stock FMIC from my S3 8V - could get the dimensions if you're interested @lee_9n3

No chance of an S3 Intercooler fitting a 9N3. 9N3 Wise its either a seat sport style from a Ibiza Cupra 6L see below

S3 intercooler above, no mission of it fitting and probably more restrictive than a welly cooler setup tbf.

Above also not great saying twin pass. Known to be restrictive on these motors from ‘stage 2’ upwards.

Best bet for minimal trimming etc is below. Single pass is what you want, BAM intake manifold and BAM charge pipe as they will allow the single pass setup. I went with a smaller race battery (lighter and smaller(

I’ll check my phone for better photos of how I attached the cooler to a length of alloy bar, I spaced the rad pack towards the engine also by 10mm to allow the top of the cooler to sit behind the crash bar.

Yeah that S3 setup looks far to big and doubt there would be enough airflow to make full use of it. Thanks non the less @Boydie.

@sam_9n Yeah single pass is the goal, not a fan of the twin pass in general and it’s routing. The BAM setup looks a lot better imo and like you say, far less restrictive.


Appreciate it, looking forward to seeing how you did it!
