S3 Intercooler Vs THS Intercooler

--- Quote from: gh172 on November 23, 2011, 01:05:33 pm ---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.

Haven't read his thread but you can see this behaviour with any IC if the RR cooling fan is less than idea.
Jussa:
There are are a lot of good write ups with people praising the S3 and twintercooler setup running in tandem!!! :happy2:

Just to throw a spanner in the works you can get intercoolers from Pace Products now, they are very big in the Ford and Japanese scenes, and are now branching into VAG. You never know you might even get discount if you offer your car up....

hmm interesting reading... my car is currently unmapped, but i'm jumping straight to stage 2+
so to summarise the THS is kind of unproven, and probably overkill in a K03 car in a European climate? for an upgrade the S3 is probably a better option. Is that correct?
S3Dan's 600bhp S3 runs ran a THS 'cooler tho, and i read somewhere that Revo uses them on their test cars? as far as endorsements go those are 2 pretty big ones... discuss.
