Title: Audi S3 8P Intercooler Upgrade
Post by: Crofty1999 on September 09, 2022, 08:32:28 pm

Just ordered an Audi S3 8P Intercooler (1K0145927F) and was wondering what pipes I need.  I have a 2008 GTI.

Some, perhaps many, just carefully remove the alloy couplers from the OE hoses, where required:

I've also seen some go a little nuts when removing them:
