some people are using the coolers out of the new tdi vans which are okay but not great... rallye intercooler would be ideal if you can find one

popular choice if you're on a budget, it'll do the job but again not ideal

Bit hard because the intercooler sits right between the front grill and the rad, you have to cut the bottom of the intercooler to make it fit. Think it was about 3 tubes, the cooler is spot on for width between the inner spots. Don't know if it is the best flowing intercooler out there, seems to work OK for me. Will be under the car at the weekend fitting a polly bush kit, so will see if I can get some photos.
