725USD SHIPPED!
The Kinetic Motorsport FMIC Kit for the VW MKIV 1.8T (Golf/GTI/Jetta) is an excellent upgrade for any stock or modified cars. This kit provides significant cooling improvement compared to the competition, and substantial cooling benefits over the factory setup. Improvements can be attributed to the high density intercooler core, and cast aluminium end tanks 24x8x3" core. Each pipe in this kit has been "bead rolled" so you don't have to worry about your boost tubes blowing off or leaking. If that wasn't enough for you, this kit also uses stainless steel piping, 4ply silicon couplers and stainless steel T-Bolt clamps.
Note: If you're interested in maintaining the sleeper look, rest assured the stock bumper grilles can be installed on Golf/GTI/Jettta with minimal trimming.We use a 24x8x3" bar and plate FMIC core with 4 ply silicon couplers, our T-bolt clamps are stainless steel, and the FMIC pipes are all bling bling stainless too. The FMIC is available with black, blue or red silicon at this time.

http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Thanks Nick
Just a few Kinetic intercooler install pic's.
Rebar modification:
Original Piping layout
I ended up going with 2.5" piping and used the original piping as a template since everything fit so well
Now fitted behind the OEM Bora-R bumper. Very little trimming had to be done to get it to fit the way that I wanted. The couplers did stick out a little so the mesh inserts on the sides had to be trimmed a little as well. I think that it came out pretty good.
This is a Great FMIC and as long as you take your time installing not much trimming will be required. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif to CtsTurbo

Laying out the piping is very easy. The most difficult part is installing the IC itself and that may include modification to your current rebar. I have some pictures of the mods that I did to my rebar a couple of posts up. I also had to trim the inside of my bumper cover but only a very little.
Love the kit got mine from a freind but a lot better then the eurosport one i had before. Looks sick to!!
u dont have to trim the bumper that much i did since my bumpers fckd up and i need a new one anyways so i didnt care! the intercoolers still like a half inch up under there to ****s huge! nothing like that talons tho sheesh that things huge to!!!

haha now I see I installed mine way to high in the bumper which is why I couldn't for the life of me get the side vents in... oh well after about 3 passes in the thing I got over that quickly! I guess I could lower it down and slide the vents in but I'm getting use to seeing the silicone elbows and pipping now and I would be more annoyed knowing that the silicone hoses had those extra bends in it instead of being nice and straight
Great price for a great preforming kit, only thing is having to reuse the stock TB hose but since I got a forge one one the way with a DV relocation kit once the black hoses get restocked it's not much a problem
:thumbup: to CTS turbo! thanks for the deal!
EDIT: oh yeah I like being able to see the K's in the end tanks too =) when people ask me what the stand for I have fun making up German sound words haha
Thanks for the review, you can fit the vents in on Golfs, Jettas, R32 bumpers, 20th bumpers and even euro bumpers, i've seen it with my own eyes, but it took some patience :thumbup:
IS there anyway i could just buy the piping? i think thats my only problem...other wise i am going to have to save alot of pretty pennies to but this intercooler.

I love this set up...My only problem which has been a headache is the dv recirculation port isnt flanged like stock and my dv hose has blown off serveral times now matter how tight i have it cranks down
The stock is flanged. Why did you guys not flange this port. 20psi of boost keeps winning the battle. It takes days but but im not into the boost all the time so it would be quicker if i was.
First time i've heard of this problem, make sure both the surfaces are clean and you have a good clamp, they're not flanged, they're designed for slip fit silicon/rubber hoses.
We can ship to an APO if you order online :thumbup:
