I think you would make some good money off it.
after showing some test reults on it and they are good. i believe many people will be interested (including myself) because of APR S3+ coming out and seems like many people are interested. So having a FMIC that is built to fit behind the stock bumper would be perfect for the upcoming APR S3/ATP kit/PES T28 kit people. just my two cents..

i'm totally down to do as thorough testing as you'd like with it...
track, dyno, VAG logs, thorough write up on install including pics and even HD video.
I do tech support and QA for a living so I know how to do thorough testing and give constructive feedback ;-)

Thanks for the input...
Is there anything you guys don't like about the existing products available to the market? This is going to be a product made for what you guys want so speak up.

San Diego, CA...
I'm up in orange country fairly often, and once in a while, LA
I'm very much a guy who likes OEM-looks, so being able to keep the stock bumper is a HUGE benefit and selling point.
Otherwise, when people look to go FMIC they either have to factor in the hacking to bits involved in using a stock bumper, or the cost of getting an S4/RS4 bumper.
If it's a high-quality build, fit and finish, then it should quickly become a leader, IMO.
what size inlet/outlet/piping are we talking here?
what will work for a k03/k04 will be a little small for a BT (at least that's what i've read/heard) but I'm sure you've got that well under control. maybe the same core but different piping?

Yes, it will work on stage 3+ since it's the same manifold as 3...
the compressor outlet should be identical in position and size. A different turbo would be a very simple modification to the existing setup

The overall fit and finish of many of the products on the market is not high enough.
A lot of them look cheap behind the front bumper when I see them, imho. A nice anadized black unit would be awesome. I have also seen a lot of nice looking units on (cough) japanese cars. I don't think the euro market has had the attention that other markets have had for intercoolers.
