Post by: Syrag64 on October 16, 2011, 09:05:43 pm

I have just bought a forge twintercooler are there any advantages of also fitting the S3 intercooler?

Better intake charge cooling and less tendency to heat soak...  :smiley:

btw you'll need different silicone hoses if you also install the S3 IC.

Personally while datalogging on road and dyno I have never seen that intake temps were lower on cars with twintercooler only compared to twintercooler and S3 cooler.

I've fitted an S3 cooler recently and feel it works pretty well now that its cooler, not sure about the forge! Pretty useless reply from me then!! :signLOL:
