Since it was asked, and Ulf is too lazy to remove his front bumper, here's a picture of the FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler) of the Cupra. . .

I'm still too lazy *lol*, but I even found a photo of another Cupra that shows the very plastic tube along with the bumper crossmember :

"Yes, yes, the welded intercooler looks really good. The Cupra tuners did a great job. There are hose clamps everywhere except on the turbo and EGR (which at least are sealed). There's just no more space for the injectors. There's definitely room for a larger turbo, although not in the engine bay near the firewall."

Hi,
Yes, that's right, the FMIC looks impressive. However, that narrow section of the upper LL "tube," just below the headlight, isn't quite as great. But that area does seem to be quite deep... Still, it's a real bottleneck, isn't it?

Maybe: Where the tube looks so flat, it also has a protrusion downwards = behind the bumper profile. The cross-section is then roughly T-shaped.

Unfortunately, I couldn't manage it yesterday. I'll try to gather the part numbers for you later... but with the ongoing transition to Windows 7, things are currently delayed .


EDIT: Attachment


I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but all the prices listed are for end consumers and include VAT. The prices are as of May 2009, but to the best of my knowledge, they are still current. The rear bumper cover listed is the one visible above, and it does not have an exhaust cutout.

Okay, I'll get started soon. Thank you very much, especially to Ibiza and Ulf.
Good night.
