That bodykit is your worst problem it adds another 3" to the bottom get rid of that and add the r32 front and then drop it simple.

find me a cheap oem front bar lol less than $500.00 and ill use it.

you are right a bout the massive 3" lower kit.

sounds right to me smaller cooler = more boost = less psi drop by have a large fmic.

id also say it is a supporting mod.

if you've got a decent intercooler you'll have less than half a psi boost drop. bigger intercooler means colder air which means more dense air which means more oxygen which means more power. smaller intercooler wont be able to cope with such huge psi and flow and wont cool the air properly and you'll be back to k03 speed.

This is why I said it's a supporting mod. More boost means you need a better cooler to keep the air cool and prevent detonation - hence the cooler is a supporting mod for larger turbo and more boost.

Thus, as I said before, a smaller cooler will be fine, but you'd have to run less boost as the efficiency of the cooler will be less due to smaller size. The cooler won't lower the power, the lower boost will.

adrian, if your willing to spend the $$ to change a few things to make it driveable maybe think about diff coilovers to possibly raise it a bit more?

you can alternatively just check vwspeed.co.uk and order in some body parts.. but its not cheap but u already know that! otherwise fibreglass copies are around in syd these days!

thanks man ill check it out, yeah once i take the kit off i will lower the car a bit to get it to sit nicer over the wheels.

theres thousands of wrecked mk4's out there man just call asv or parramatta prestige or pretty much any wrecking yard and they'll hook you up.

And be sure to make up a fictional quote after you find out the market value of a part. Keep them on their toes mate!

^^^ Definitely a positive tactic when talking to wreckers etc. Works a charm

well if you really feel like going back to SMIC, why not look at the S3 audi SMIC kit, ou know Dual SMIC. that way if you are leaving the car low and getting rid of the FMIC you still will have sufficient cooling capacity.

Hopefully this helps and gives you potentially another option to choose from.
