Volkswagen GTI FMIC Install Guide - Step by Step DIY

[@girces]

Absolutely appreciate this step by step! This is the "how-to" I've been searching for. Thanks!

[@ARMMotorsports]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LJM2stepspain]

Between the price of this unit and the quality of this video, I don't see why anyone would buy an intercooler from anyone else. I'll definitely be getting an ARM solution.

[@ArcadiaVibe]

Wow, this is one of the most detailed and no sh*t tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@ARMMotorsports]

Thank you!

[@DrGrnThumb]

This is definitely the best diy video I've seen as far as edits go. I wish every video i watched was edited like this. Very informative and quick, nicely done

[@usa5046]

I just picked this kit up and it's Farley straight forward minus a few missing bolts and those brackets which don't slide on as easy as in this video

Got y’all’s downpipe and definitely about to order this now!

Great job on the video showing where everything is located and letting the viewer know what is what and goes where is extremely helpful. Very informative great job I give you a 10 out of 10 on this video.

[@chancewindham1718]

I’ve got y’all’s downpipe for the mk7 and the quality was on point. About to order this intercooler

[@jp450r]

Well I know how to change the water pump now lol. Taking the front off seems to be easier than taking half the motor apart.

[@coreywilliams722]

Got this intercooler had it on for about a year now and it's great

[@mattfinneseth4590]

How does it do with heat soak?

[@coreywilliams722]

Haven't had any issues at all, I live in Syracuse ny so it doesn't really get to hot out here, but works just as good as my buddies neuspeed

[@Silbaru]

Would you recommend this intercooler for someone who lives in South Florida?

[@Uphorics]

I'm pretty sure ANY intercooler upgrade is better for south florida LOL.

[@ronnieronnie8549]

Question. Why are a lot of people saying that the stock upgrade intercooler is better do to heatsoaking. They say that the small one like on this video doesn’t make any sense, I want to buy this one but I’m still learning about vw. Thanks

[@ARMMotorsports]

Good question! Do you know if these people have data logs to back the statement?

[@ronnieronnie8549]

@@ARMMotorsports hey you’re right about that. I like that answer ha, well you got me sold then. I really like your IC.

[@dkiiv]

do you really need to delete the stock IC? seems like you could just leave it be. it appears the silicone hoses will go around the stock IC inlect/outlet locations.. no?

[@ARMMotorsports]

You can certainly leave it be, this is just great to shed some extra weight.

[@lowkey.egg14]

Probably too late for a reply but worth a shot. I didn’t order the stock delete kit could I just leave the stock one there and still have my Intercooler mounted and not take the WHOLE front end off and just the bumper off?

[@foxtrottangowhiskey4121]

Yea you can

[@gregprevite8548]

I just got the competition model for my mk6 golf r. Are there any extra steps or cutting to do with the larger core

[@albertruiz9123]

It's very easy to do I'm just have a problem with the security conexion for the right pipe

[@e-man1083]

❤❤❤❤

[@andriy-lk4nk]

Would this fit a VW CC 2013?

[@Elissoccerclips]

is this the same tutorial for a Golf R MK6? thanks man

[@icxcnika555]

Will this work on gen 2 VW CC?

[@robinlopez1909]

Great video, thanks

[@SeemzLegit454]

Do the smaller intercoolers rob HP?

[@usa5046]

No

[@leeamezcua7729]

Does this kit fit the Mk5 GTI TFSI as well?

[@jordankyles5791]

With this work on a 2016 VW Jetta Sport. 1.8T

[@ARMMotorsports]

Yes it will

I liked, very good video

[@romariosmith422]

Love the green. Where did you get those?

[@nahson3pie]

So what about the hood latch line ?

[@ARMMotorsports]

What about it?

[@blindabinda1234]

Do you sell just the boost pipes and the mounting brackets?

[@dumbeezy5480]

use some common sense and check their website

[@blindabinda1234]

@@dumbeezy5480 i did dumb ass and it doesn't show them for sale by themselves

[@wiwii3976]

Because of the rectangular shape or silicon plug I have boost leaks nothing enought

[@tevionsaunders2506]

Does this fmic delete kit work for the mk6 Jetta gli as well cause I plan to do a front mount intercooler as well but it doesn’t say anything about the fmic delete kit . Do you have to have it since removing oem intercooler ?

[@dennyjohnson7338]

Not sure if u got it and installed it but I’ll answer this one lol, yes and no u don’t technically need to remove the stock intercooler at all. But if u do don’t buy the delete kit or anyone’s stock intercooler delete kit. Take ur stock intercooler and gut out the core, leaving enough of the core so that remaining skeletonized intercooler maintains structural integrity. Reinstall and fitment will be better and u can save urself money👍🏼.

[@christhaslag]

Why didnt you run it as a twin cooler setup? Maybe you did and just didnt see it

[@victormejicanos5683]

This is a good diy video. I recently installed this on my 2011 gti with a ko4. Only time will tell if it could handle it. Ig armstrong0327

[@dumbeezy5480]

hows it holding?

[@Sammyt1520]

ya howd it work

[@CourtneyKarl]

Hello? How's it working?

[@Chemist9662]

Flux p

[@tomg6284]

the musice sucks. FYI.

[@wyro5o]

Worst mod I’ve ever done on any vehicle. Boost leak city, nothing fit without modification, and performance gains are negligible if not worse than stock. Save your money and the headache and stay away from this piece of shit kit.

[@ARMMotorsports]

Hello, we would like to assist you with this to ensure you have no boost leake. This intercooler is being ran on our shop intercooler and drastically lowers IATs and was very easy to install. Please email to [e-mail] for some assistance. We back our products and will make this right.

@@ARMMotorsports you don’t back shit. Your customer service is horrible too.
