    Didn't need to find it. I have sent many people from here and my home forum to see what installing an FMIC with the smaller "Euro" bumper that I virtually is book-marked.

    Thanks for doing that write-up by the way.

      This one: http://www.audifans.net/modules.php?...highlight=fmic

      Very impressive filing Mr. Liberian.

      Just wondering why no one decides to have a custom intercooler made that it the size of the water radiator and thinner than the intercooler used in the photo ?

      My reasoning behind such a suggestion is that one would not have to do as much /any trimming or hacking of an expensive / rare euro UrS6 front bumper.

      What bhp, say 380bhp RS2 Fried spec, would cause the standard UrS6 intercooler to be a significant bottleneck/weakest link to the RS2+ spec and therefore worth doing something to relieve the bottlenek and get a few more bhp ?

      Just wondering about the above, sorry about the partial hijack, but I reckon others will be interested in the replies.

      Thanks.

        It's indeed nice to see one more UrS6! As far as those rubber thingies go: Please safe yourself a lot of hassle and upgrade the coil packs to more modern ignition with one of these:

        Any info on the FMIC would be welcome, especially if it sits behind a euro bumper.

        Can those coil kits be purchased in the EU or even better, the UK please?

          I did reply to you via PM but If I can find a EU source for the 1.8T coil pack conversion then I will go down that route as I think it may be a coil pack issue.
          Although, still give me a price please as I may well purchase yours as well.

              Ive purchased a set of Porsche Cayenne Turbo Brembo 18z calipers. Can anyone tell me i need different mounting bolts to fit them to my urS6 please? I've seen some on Ebay but just unsure?
              Also, are there any Porsche rear calipers that will fit please?
              Thanks

                1. I know it was a typo but to be clear, being a Liberian from the west African country of Liberia is quite different than being a "Librarian" who stores and remembers UrS (S2, S4, S6, RS2) trivia and info.

                Just sayin'

                2. A local UrS6 owner has RS2'd his AAN in 2004 with MTM Stage 3 software (292 whp on a rolling road) and did not go for a FMIC, just kept the OE side-mount intercooler. He doesn't track the car but does do some "spirited" driving on his 30 km (one way) daily drives to work (well over 200K km on the engine *SINCE* the RS2 upgrades and software).

                So is a FMIC absolutely necessary? No. He also never went for Samcos, just new OE boost hoses, and has never had an issue. So go figure.
