Hi peeps I've been browsing e bay for intercoolers and some of them say 06/12 and are duel type as in the original stays put and a additional one is added I just wondered if these type are compatable with a 05 plate and if anyone has any experience with these sub 300 £ intercooler kits


Cheep as chips cheers andy

I can't comment on this particular intercooler but be aware and beware of cheap Chinese (or Far Eastern) copies. It can be a case of buy cheap, buy twice. Hopefully someone else might know something about this particular i/c you are interested in.

I bought mine from forge, and it's great.

X2 for what Robin said, although ideally you want to find a product where you a paying for the quality and not a further premium for the "name"

A cheap quality option may be using the Audi S3 OEM intercooler. Use the search function for more info  :smiley:
