Unless you have £3-4k to spend then just get a decat and remap.
You are aware that all Mk5 platform turbocharged vehicles have FMICs and my old 1.9 TDI ran stock intercooler without any issues with a GTB1756vk (not ideal but it worked). Just replace the lower intercooler hoses, clips and o ring seals. about £120.
on it's own or with even a stage 1 remap you will see no gains from fitting an aftermarket intercooler on our TDIs realistically speaking. they recover pretty damn quickly.


i currently have one of the darkside S3 coolers on order, hope they are good.

ryder2012:
i have money, i just need to work out what to put in to get the most out of this.

Also need EGR/EGR cooler delete that's another £80
Clutch&flywheel approx £800+fitting (call it £1k)
Hardpipe kit for stock intercooler £280.

Don't forget their prices are plus VAT

ryder2012:
hehehe now this is getting interesting, the prices arent an issue as mentioned, as long as its the right parts for the best gain and properly installed and tuned (hence why i wont fit them myself lol) i dont mind.
