Have been reliably informed that adding an S3 Intercooler into my GTi mite give me a few more horses, have many of you done this already?
Cheers

It will help keep Air intake temperatures down, improving ability to push the performance envelope (I.e. stage2) and improve reliability....

When you hear figures "Bandied" about, it's generally talk, however I guess when fitting S3 intercooler and your Remap is adjusted to suit it then you will get some extra ponies, but not just as direct fitment only I would say. :happy2:

If you have, why asking this question?

.... have many of you done this already?

It doesn't make any sense to start at zero and posting all knowledge again.

TBH, it was kind of tongue in cheek when i started this thread anyway, as i'd said in a previous thread 'no more mods'!  :laugh:

To be honest don't expect too much from a S3 IC. I bet you won't feel any difference at all.
