FMIC

[JustinTimeB7]

I have a 2013 Passat TDI SEL that I am loving and tinkering with as i get more familiar. I am contemplating swapping in a FMIC. Curious if anyone has done this and if so what brand/model did you go with. Found my A/C condenser has a hole so I figured I'll replace condenser and mount the intercooler at the same time. Any wisdom out there would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome

I am not familiar with your car but as a general rule the cooler the air is the more power an engine will make so IF you can mount a larger intercooler in the available space then go for it.

NOTE larger IC surface area is more efficient at reducing inlet air temperatures than cooler core thickness.
