UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I'm looking at purchasing one in the very near future, i was wondering if there were any others currently interested in buying one and was thinking if there were 5 interested i could contact Forge and see if they'd offer a discount.

Also if anyone is interested in the TIP and Intercooler to throttle body hose?

Is the throttle body hose not required if getting the FMIC as this comes with one?

If anyone has a Forge FMIC they're looking to sell, send me a PM

intercooler to throttle body hose is extra and not included in the fmic kit

Cheers Jeff

Intercooler worth it?

ABSOLUTELY, I FELT THE DIFFERENCE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT BACK OUT, NO MORE IF ANY LAG AT ALL, AND CAR DRIVES LIKE ITS A WINTERS MORNING EVEN WHEN ITS SUMMER WEATHER

OOPS caps

Hopefully it'll be worth the money!

Did you order one mate? Its a great bit of kit, the OEM SMIC is pathetic, makes you laugh when you see the two together

No not yet Kenny, wanted to see if there was any interest in a group buy first, doubt there will be enough to get a significant discount . It's either buy coilovers now and FMIC in another month or so, or the other way round!

Yeah I saw your thread when you fitted yours, the SMIC is tiny!

mine with the front mount on and the forge chief engineer holding the original

Haha, that's shocking! What do you reckon Jeff, FMIC or coilovers first?

I would say coilovers mate, standard suspension on the polo is pretty poor! Or even get some springs fitted and get the FMIC aswell?

as kenny said, handling before speed, i honestly cant remember how the standard gti handled but i know it only took me a week to get it on coils

would love to drive a standard one again to compare things like handling and speed etc

Agreed, the handling is pretty poor as standard, VERY 'crashy' IMO! Although the RARB has helped handling alot

I got mine remapped at More-Bhp the week after i picked mine up! Standard was fast, for me, as i came from a 1.2 Corsa...But with a Stage 1 remap the power is how it should've been from the factory.

Now i have to make the decision between AP coilovers and Weitecs
