Going Stage 2+
DANBOY66:
s3's are great for k03's stage 2+
not so great for k04's
people want every last bhp they can get i have seen it a thousand times i have done this and that what else can i do before mapping
an s3 intercooler will be ok but not the best option
DANBOY66:
best intercooler bang for buck if your handy all new can be done for under £200

I remember me asking questions about that but as you didn't give the dimensions I went a bought n R6 one lol also too much hassle to cut the cross member and drill holes to mount an aftermarket one on so easier to go oem :signLOL:

Funny thing is you get a different answer depending on who you speak to. I was chatting to Steve when I was last at Statller and he said my standard cooler would be fine for a k04 conversion....! I'm not too sure about that myself, but who am I to question his knowledge?!
He also told me about Peron intercoolers suffering from pressure drop and possibly not being as good as I'd heard they were. But at the same time other equally respected tuners rate the Peron highly.
Whatever's right or wrong, it's definitely something I need to look into lots more before I go k04.
