Ok, well I guess I'm just gonna have to do a FMIC. I just wondered if anyone thought this could be done, but it sounds like it would be too much of a pain in the a$$. I wonder where the S4 has all that stuff relocated to.

 

If you search this you will find some more info. I was looking into it the day. If you are only boosting stock pressure it isn't worth it. It might work, The tt 225 has a dsmic setup!

 

The S4 engine is totally different, with totally different turbo plumbing. It's not that the S4 has all that stuff "relocated" it's just a different setup. They did not modify the S4 turbo plumbing to accomidate the smic, it was designed with everything in mind.... Of course it would be a giant pita to re route and re plumb your 1.8T turbo piping/hoses, etc. to accomidate a second smic.

It's not the pressure, it's the volume. The volume a k03 pushes at 20psi is very different from a BT boosting 20psi. Same pressure, but the BT boost occupies more space, making the use of a large core fmic and piping a wise idea.

 

I heard "S4" so I came running again onepoint. LOL jk

BUT here are some pictures of what it looks like where you want to put that second SMIC on an A4:



Here is what it looks like for the S4 (my car):

And an engine picture for the heck of it.


I have done 2 FMIC installs on A4's and I can assure you that to add a second one to the passenger side would be a HUGE pain. It's not worth it.

I love the 2.7t, but just looking at that mess of engine makes my stomach turn when thinking about maintanence

 

Oh yes... it's not much fun... did you ever see my thread about me having to re-build the passenger side head???

Here is one picture for how far I tore the car down before having someone else finish the work:


Ok, back on topic... Just thought I would show how much easier the 1.8T is to work on compared to the 2.7T... except for the DV's. THose are SUPER easy! They are right on top! HAHA

 

looks like fun. if u ever drop a tool in your engine, good luck finding it.. lol...

yea FMIC would deff be a better option, i think im going to get one soon

 

oh yeah... it's insane! HAHA And I have dropped a lot of tools down there. Thats when the magnetic wand comes in handy. LOL
