Title: S3 intercooler on 1.8T
Post by: turbokid23 on 24 February 2012, 09:19
Has any one fitted or know any one that has fitted an S3 intercooler set up on a mk4 turbo??

Would it need to be modified or is it a straight fit? Cheers

Post by: Wazzzer on 24 February 2012, 13:26
what's wrong with that?

Full throttle 3rd gear run on the rollers - happy days, no old bill to tug you, you'll never run out of road and no fear of accidents or dozy drivers

Mine was mapped on the rollers at R-Tech and I have no complaints :smiley:

It doesn't need to go out on the road, Nick does all the logging in the comfort of the building then checks through them afterwards

The only time mine went out on the road was afterwards and I came back with a nice big grin on my face  :wink:

225bhp and 256lb/ft, now fitted a sports cat instead of the decat and FMIC, got Calibra injectors to go in as well as a VR6 MAF, hoping for 240bhp+ next time

It's a long drive (2hours +) for me to get up to them but it's worth it
