Uwell not sure about ths but im sure like forge they will supply thr pipes.

i wouldnt worry about a intercooler uness your gunna go straight to stage 2 and up. i would of presumed the ed30 would have the same or similar capacity as the s3 intercooler but dont qoute me on that :happy2:

just seen your build, was the custom map written to include uprated intercooler? its un known waters for me but id presume if it was a custom map it would be written to run within the boundrys of your stock intercooler so might be worth giving your tuner a ring to see if ito will be worthwhile or not.. just my opinion but might be shooting myself in the foot...

Even on Stage 2 you don't really need a bigger intercooler on a K03 GTI. Do you need it on an Ed30? What do your tuner R-Tech advise?

And if you're prepared to spend THS money then Pro Alloy would be definitely worth considering - They have an awesome [not a cool word in my book anymore!] an excellent reputation.

R-tech suggested that if I want more power,s3 intercooler,induction kit & hpfp...power wise it be around 330-340bhp

like i said check with your tuner first if its a custom map, but s3 intercooler is easy to find.. it will be in all the nomlrmal places suvh as ebay and the for sale section. pm jussa he may still have his which was a brilliant price. i would just keep your eye out for a second hand one.
