hope it does, if it does that will be good stuff! Alot of money for a filter though, oh and found someone who supports my theory in this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthr ... 214&page=2 :lol:

Looks like a nice piece of kit... but like Whitepolo says... expensive air filter...

I try a cone soon as I may fit bigger MAF housing so standard box no good anyway...

Jef.. bet you cant wait to get over to Forge and get rid of the weeny SMIC..... the FMIC should make a good difference to your setup.... like a cool crisp morning all the time . lol

I cant decide whether to do the FMIC or try water/meth injection.... hhmmm

You can fit a bigger MAF onto the standard Air box, i believe the Ibiza PD has a lid to suit the bigger MAF.

Dan fitted one to his Polo with the IHI, but you wont be able to ask Dan about it R.I.P

its good though, and enclosed too, so no problems with heat soak and it wont be too loud either as its not exposed

i got it at a decent price too, i never paid full retail price for it as usual, i got it through a friend of a friend,

im hoping the filter and the front mount will maintain my mid range figures and provide the extra air to help the engine breath better at the top end of the revs to increase my peak power figures

and make the car feel more like that cold morning driving feeling every day regardless of outside temperature
