Bought a fmic. Fitting it this Saturday. Goodbye to 70 degree intake temps, hopefully.

Which one?? Stock bumper?

Only charged dubs twin pass with stock bumper.

The twin pass style intercooler setup is one of the most steathiest mods available. The police wouldn't know what time of day it is.
This is not my car but apparently I can achieve this with the intercooler I bought.

Btw I would love to see air intake temps monitored on that setup and logged with vagcom. I hear a lot of people saying temps are good but with not much to back it up. But a few of you now have that setup and I was tempted for ages, but with no data available I passed on it.

nothing beats a fmic for cooling but it would be very interesting to see how close those smic can get. For reference this is a log I did the other day, ambient temps were high 20s. Very impressed with the cts core.

All I can remember is a thread from vortex from a well known guy who tracked his car who reported higher temps than the stock side mount with the generic eBay taco taco cooler. Even he didn't have logs to prove, but his posts seemed legit. That was years ago and no one has ever posted basic vagcom logs to prove otherwise.
Look at Mr. Fancypants me7 able to log requested vs actual boost pressure haha
So just for context, was that was a 2nd or 3rd gear pull? And until mid 4000rpm, so a few 1000 left in the rev range. Would be interesting to see repetitive 6000k wot pulls in 3rd gear. I heard the local police don't mind if you use the airport runway after hours for testing.
But geez that is a serious amount of boost from such a big turbo.
I'll be logging my fmic for the 30min session at QR in December. So will have some definitive real world results soon.
