S3 intercooler

(1/3) > >>

Jk911:
Have been offered an s3 intercooler, I'm running stage 2 at the moment and want to go stage2+ in the very near future, what other parts do I need ( hoses etc) I know I need the hpfp but not 100% sure what parts to fit the intercooler? :smiley:

johnboy07:
it should be an easy straight swap as long as the cooler come with the end hoses. sits in exactly the same place as ur oem one.  :happy2:

Jk911:
Are the hoses the same diameter as ours? Thanks

johnboy07:
i believe so but do a search as there are loads of here about the install and part numbers of the parts you may require.  :smiley:

The hoses for the S3 IC don't have metal couplers like the standard gti ones.
That being said, if you are careful with a dremel you can remove the couplers from the original hoses  (leaving the underlying hose intact) and have perfect fitting hoses for the IC. You will need a couple of jubilee clamps to fasten the hoses to the IC inlets.
