Im on stage 2 in a KO3 gti and only have standard intercooler.
I do get some heat soak if really giving it hell but does not cause a problem most of the time.

....Me too but I don't get heatsoak problems on fast road use.

I bet you do to a certain extent... you just are not aware of it. On the dyno heatsoak is a nightmare. Run a 2.0T with OEM IC twice in quick succession and you'll see about 10bhp reduction.

Are there any 'stand out' intercooler options for an ED30/GTI, I've read SteveP's review of the THS unit which is very informative and certainly makes the THS come across as a good option.
How does the Forge Twintercooler rate against it...............or in fact any others for a Revo stage2 car?
Cheers, Andy.
