S3 Intercooler Vs THS Intercooler
h4rdy:
Thanks TT I am K04.
TBH I am not really intending to do it at the moment as I don't have any problems with heat soak at the moment.
I am mainly asking for the purpose of progressing the thread and if I upgrade to a hybrid K04 in the future in the like I may look into it again.
I did consider removing my Air Conditioning, Mike have you done this, TT is it worth it?

That may help a little - but it is still gonna be a lot closer than a Forge. I take it you shop in Tesco! :P

Just thought a bit of air flow would help but yes yor right.
And this 24hour supermarket lights up my back garden it's that close...
:P

Heat travels by three fundamental methods: conduction, convection and radiation. :nerd:
Mike, did you manage to find that old thread I did?

This commen..t -
It is really all relative, and a bit of a compromise. If you genuinely get plagued by heatsoak and power drop off, then a touch more lag might be worth it (and I'm sure REVO and the likes could map out the lag). But if you never actually get heatsoak on just the standard plastic GTI cooler - and just wanna upgrade for sheer vanity, then the lag will probably p!ss you off. You really and honestly need to carefully assess what heatsoak you currently get, and then what the ultimate goal of swapping the i/cs will achieve.
is what plagues me as i have the S3 cooler and have thought long and hard about pairing it with the Twintercooler BUT am not sure how much I suffer from heat soak without doing any logs yet and have heard from two respected tuners about the loss of throttle response on the open road even though twintercooler may show gains on the RR...
