Fresh in this week. Been waiting a while for this cooler to turn up. I don't really get excited by intercoolers. Generally they are all the same with nothing that really sets them apart from each other. This one on the other hand is something special. Main features are:
Tightly woven fin design to capture more cool air
Thermo black coating to keep the radiating heat off the cooler
Plated end tanks to keep the weight down
Huge core at 55mm x 650mm x 440mm
Here are some pics of the cooler:

So as a rough guide, how much more % wise would this be more efficient than the THS cooler Alex? :popcornsoda:
-
Does this come with hoses Alex? Would it be the same fitment as the S3?
Tempted with this, while my engines out :evilgrin:

Not fitted mine yet. I know how my THS performs so its easy to compare once it goes on.
-
Looks a nice bit of kit with similar dimensions to the Wagner coolers but cheaper... Look forward to hear how these perform :evilgrin:

Saw this a few days ago. Very light and looks really well put together.
-
if id not long ago put my ths fmic on i would of had 1 of these,the weight saving is a bonus :wink:

THS is 610mm x 415mm x 57mm
So
2531.5cm2 for the THS
2860cm2 for the Peron
So ~13% greater surface area
-
You out logging yet? :evilgrin: :party:
-
Will be interested to see how this performs. :)
-
You out doggin yet? :evilgrin: :party:
EFA
-
Hmmm.... not so interested in the report on that!! :confused:
-
Keeping an eye on this looks decent :happy2:
-
Is it a direct fit or are mods needed?
-
What would be the price for one of these fitted then? To a MK5 GTI K03 if it makes a difference.
-
I like the sound of this. :popcornsoda:
-
Interesting product, let us know how it compares to the THS one :smiley:

These guys are reaping massive praise on the Ford forums at the moment. Their kit seems to be very high quality and top end performance wise.
Currently looking at their turbo upgrade kit for my Fiesta ST. Beta test maps yielding over 330hp, 290Hp/ton power to weight lol

I'm in if some of the questions are answered... Especially as I'm in the market for a new cooler and this peroni is not out of my budget!
-
^^^^ If this is as good as it seems there'll be a few THS IC's in the for sale section soon at a reasonable price.........at least one! :innocent:

That's my best pals car we are booking in with r-tech soon as so nicky has a slot stage 2+
-
getting my peron fitted tom and stage 2 at rtech on friday!!
cant wait
-
I'm still hoping they kick off and a flood of THS intercoolers hit the for sale section. Just totted up the cost of going stage 2 on my GTI last night, wasn't cheap!

You need to update the spec in your sig @Jussa (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2225)
-
So is there anyone who has a good review on one of these bits of kit out there yet? Haven't come across much so far digging about.
-
I'm also still interested in this.
I'm still on the oe cooler and would take something pretty good to make me change until I see any issues using my current cooler. (new plastic end tank S3 type)

Do these fit the mk6 Golf GTI/R models?

yes m8,got 1 on mine but will need a little inner bumper trim to get it to fit perfectly(ive not done mine yet lol)

Kind of reluctant to be trimming my bumpers to be honest...
-
how hard are these to fit ?
is or will there be a group buy ?
are they better the welly cooler or APR or THS ?
sorry for the questions
just like to know is this the best intercooler on the market
and the best place and price to get one thanks

Not the bumper. The inner edge of the front panel needs a slight trim. Any aftermarket cooler requires this or the ac condenser rubs against it.
-
Ah, that's alright then. Looking at cost against internal capacity, these coolers seem to hit the sweet spot. Seems few coolers use a 55mm core, so this combined with an EVOMS kit should be a good intake system?
