For the economically challanged amongst us, you don't have to buy S3 hoses to mate up to the S3 IC. You can cut the metal coupler off of the oem IC hoses (at the IC end) and attach the "bare ends" to the S3 IC using jubilee clips.

....I suggest using stainless steel jubilee clips.

what's that TB pipe you have their next to the original? Is it the Neuspeed one?

....Yes, Neuspeed Charge and Discharge pipe replacements.
If anyone is seriously considering an intercooler upgrade, don't spend on these hoses because they'll need replacing when you do the aftermarket intercooler.

I can't knock the 10bhp i saw on the before/after RR runs, but its full width straight from TB to IC is just too much. You can see the neuspeed pipe narrows in the middle section so its not as fat as my SFS pipe, hence no probs for you. Oh well it didn't cost me anything anyway! :happy2:

That 10bhp did figure in my thoughts....

I was toying with the idea of the S3 IC back along, I was looking at buying neg's but I think it went with the car....

Economically challenged is me, (tight, stingy etc!!!) so thanks for the heads up there but I would probably go for the full kit and would then sell it on again or put it on my next car.....
