Mk7 GTI Stock IC with eBay FMIC Flow Test

GTI IC plus eBay FMIC Flow Test

One of the FMIC options for the Mk7 GTI is an eBay product that operates in parallel with the GTI stock intercooler.

This test was to determine the airflow through the pair of intercoolers connected as they would be on the GTI.  On account of the bi-cooler arrangement, positioning the intercooler pair so that they could be flow tested took some extra work.

The addition of the eBay FMIC to the stock GTI intercooler increases the airflow over the stock GTI IC by 34%.

    What would happen if you ran these in a series? Could it potentially cool better?

    1. There’d be more pressure drop. I don’t know if it would cool better, I think it is unlikely to make an improvement that would be worth the effort.
