INTERCOOLER OR NOT?
#17
I think if you plan on keeping your car a long time to offset the cost of FMIC work, and you want a fast fun 306 HDi, then do it.

Otherwise don't.

A good FMIC set up costs a lot of time and money. You are gonna spend at least £150 on the mapping work in total. £300 for a clutch even doing DIY, and chances are it will need a clutch or you are not gonna get the best from the work, or have just done a good new OEM one any way.
Then you will need about £300 for the intercooling/piping/clips/boost gauge etc etc...

About £750.

It probably adds about £50 to the value of the car. Mainly because of the unknowns and because anyone tuning a car so far has preferences that won't match those of any potential buyer.



Rebellious, I'm happy to take a look under the bonnet and give you my 2p if you wanted. You are relatively local to me.

Obviously I'd go the route I did, and Rob McD did with our FMIC set ups. Mine would have fit on my brothers Estate HDi too iirc. Yes it was a bit more expensive but it's the best set up in my view... very short runs, smooth bends, huge intercooler, and was totally reliable in the three cars we set up with it (ie, no issues ever from the last screw tightening during fitting)
