Browsing through the Darkside website and uprated intercoolers caught my eye, not FMIC, just uprated in the factory position.
Is there much benefit to them on a 1.9 running 180bhp? Only other physical mods to engine are K&N panel, EGR blank and a decat.
Would I need to get it mapped to suit the uprated intercooler? I assume not as you normally map to compensate for an FMIC as it has moved and boost pipework has changed length, etc?
Has anyone done the conversion to an uprated cooler on theirs?
p.s. it was looking at the Darkside website that got me thinking, though they dont actually list one for the A4
