S3 Intercooler Vs THS Intercooler
gh172:
I'd appreciate that, thanks.

I was reading DomT's build thread in regards to his impressions of the THS Intercooler.
One comment I read when Dom was discussing his numbers on a dyno confused me a little,
"I think the one thing I noticed yesterday that puzzled me was each run was lower than the previous.
Just an observation really because you were all over me like a rash on the way there. It clearly is a very strong car. :wink:

Yes, I did notice the same, I think it is down to the fact that the THS FMIC has such a large core, compared to both S3 or even STD+Twintercooler set up, drop was quite noticeable. Certainly makes no difference out on the open road."
I thought with a bigger cooler " as opposed to the S3 or Forge" you would see more consistent pulls on the dyno due to the larger core and more effecient cooling. Having said that, my mechanical knowledge is next to none! So if anyone could explain why this would be typical of a larger Intercooler I would appreciate it .

Think I'll just pay the extra and go for the tried and proven APR FMIC for peace of mind.

I have the APR FMIC, i can't fault in any way except price. When i bought it the THS wasn't available, if it were i would have chosen it over the APR due to much better priced :happy2:

I'm a little put off theTHS due to the results DomT saw on the dyno. Apparently his numbers were getting lower with every run which I would think points to the efficiency of the Intercooler . APR show the dyno results of their Intercooler after 5 consecutive runs and the numbers stay pretty consistent.
There's stacks of info in regards to the APR cooler but it's hard to find informative customer feedback about the THS.
