Right ... First things first I wanna say sorry for posting this as I am sure it has been Said many many times before ..: but I have searched ... And spent hours and hours on the Internet looking for figures..

I am about to take my k1 stage 2+ APR .. Thinking of upgrading intercooler .. First was litrally gonna buy the s3.. The. The THS came into play...

Car will be running 360-370bhp ...

I need to make my decision on what cooler to buy .. S3 or THS .. Please help me .. Provide your answer and your reasons.. I'm not a heavy heavy driving it I like to give it a boot when something come next to me .. Would say I'm 50:50 really .. Not always in red line ..

Please help.. I wanna just buy the one I need and be done with it :)

Few questions.:

Would the THS have lag?
S3 able to hack the BHP?
THS for bigger turbos?
Is it worth the £350 extra for THS? Does it have £350 more cooling ?
Any cutting needed of bumper?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO????? Lol

Andy:
think the s3 cooler is ok up to 400 bhp

berg:
s3 intercooler is good for 500bhp  :party:

but the THS is the superior intercooler....

so you dont need the THS but if you want the ultimate go for it.

i got the s3 then added a twintercooler which is a formidable set up.... but not sure if the THS on its own is probably cheaper and just as good

Mandy:
This is what I would prob do:

If KO3 then S3.
If KO4 then THS, or THS + S3.

I had the THS IC fitted on mine and didn't experience any noticeable lag.

Vasekk:
Any difference between THS and APR intercooler?
