Which intercooler
Top Cat:
Dont know to be honest, somewhere around 270, 280 i would guess. Did this time on quarter of a mile, which beats most stage one Edition 30's. :innocent: and a few stage 2's. :driver:

The forge IC, by far, out performs the S3 cooler, and the S3 cooler is a lot harder( more time consuming ) to fit. If you are fitting yourself then the S3 cooler works out a good option, but if you pay a garage to fit it, then you might as well go for the forge as it's cheaper to fit, but more costly to buy. That made sense when i started. :laugh:

Cheers for the advice, I was thinking I would probably give it ago myself installing the intercooler, saw a thread off another forum and it didn't look too bad to do.
Thanks Ash

Does anyone know what the dimensions are for a forge intercooler??
I know there is a little table with the standard, S3, THS items.
Thanks

Not sure if you guys have noticed but there is a new TFSI intercooler in town and it is rather good from the reports I have seen:

I know a couple of people that have been lucky enough to have been running this IC for about a year now and they have been very impressed with it. S3 IC is usually ~12 - 15 C above ambient, Pro is usually 2 - 5 C above ambient!
