....You should budget £1,000 for a Quaife ATB diff.
The S3, THS, and Twintercoolers each deliver very similar performance from what I've read. The S3 and THS involves much more labour installing and the Twintercooler is more expensive to buy, so it all evens out.
The supplied oem spark plugs are absolutely fine and don't need upgrading unless you are going to Stage3!

I cant see the S3 intercoler performing as well as the THS or twintercooler, however for a GTI where your realistically only going to make 280hp max then id say it would be ok, if i had an Ed30 pushing 360Hp id be looking into something like the THS/APR intercooler, or an S3 cooler mated to a twintercooler.
The americans have found that in their summers that the S3 cooler wasnt upto the job,

Sy, isn't there a thread somewhere on this site where some comparitive logging info was posted? It may have been comparing the THS with the better known other brands.. by DomT perhaps?
