Title: Twin intercooler
Post by: turbokid23 on 30 January 2012, 19:50
Is it worth doing a s3 intercooler set up on a 1.8t so I would have 2 intercoolers instead of 1 ???

It's having a ko4 put on march so think THS fmic is wot I am going for

you would only able have a ths fmic if you go for the ko4-001 or other variaties that are with the ko3 hosing. i have suffered the same mate i currently have a forge fmic and cannot fit a ko4 from a s3, tt or lcr because the ko4 downpipe

bit early for you is it?

the ko4 downpipe obstructs the THS or Forge FMIC boost piping

just run it a different route?
probably have to buy some silicone joiners and extra tubing mind

what other way would you take it? it can be done i suppose but way to much hassle, you might as well get a toyosports one or if you wanted to be really dareing get a 97-98 sharan large port inlet manifold(inlet on the passenger side) then fit a K04 and a seat leon cupra r/S3 FMIC from THS or Forge

Darksider, you just need to go a different route, its not that hard.
I have a forge FMIc on mine. I will try to find a pic but my cgharge pipe essentially comes up over the turbo and back down the other side. Others go straight forward between angine bnlock and airbox/battery area - that route would suit that S3 set up I would have thought.

im no saying it wouldnt be hard but why would you spend £500-£700 on a FMIC only to spend more to bodge some piping together????? like i said you might as well got for a toyosports one

if you care to correct my grammar - please do so.
If you meant the plethora of typos, then thats a bit different. I was typing whilst working on something else so banged out the words and posted, not proof reading it.

I thought a few folks found a benefit from the s3 set up, maybe over on uk-mkivs? Who knows, you are going to find out! Can't be sneezed at for that price anyway.
It will be good to see how you find the fitting and also the performance afterwards.
