Intercooler

Not really anypoint uprating the intercooler until your going stage 2. Wont really see any gains from it to justify the cost.

Callumed30:
^^^^^^ buy a k04 conversion

robmcclel:
I was under the impression that even without a map it will make a slight difference, even if only marginal. The ecu will pick up on the cooler intake temps and you should see small gains even if it is only 1-2bhp, but ideally you need a remap. I find the forge twintercooler works well and is relatively easy to fit in comparison to replacing standard intercooler. There are some cheap copies of the twintercooler on ebay maybe give one of them a shot if your not too fussed about getting a remap.

Dan_FR:
Slight difference could mean a 1-2hp, but mainly less HP lost through heat, reduced timing etc. when driven hard. Bang for buck on a standard car it is pointless.

mk5-beast-91:
£400 - £600 for 2hp. Spend it on a stage 1 remap. you Wont feel anything on standard map apart from a lighter wallet.
