it has some graphs at the bottom. seams pretty good. i thought these wernt ment to help much, seams like they do
-
Are these compatible with the ED30 also?
Considering the VF Engineering intercooler but not sure if the K04 has a different turbo housing to the regular K03 Gti, I have a feeling its just the hot side of the turbo thats different??
Hmm...

may be worth a call to forge, i dont know the improvements with the VF, but the forge seems very good
-
ain't it a bit too expensive?
Check out the Oettinger intercooler.

....The oettinger intercooler is a replacement and not an addition like the Forge. I don't know which is better.
IIRC, the oettinger is actually from the S3 Audi. And 'their' intake is in fact a Carbonio re-badged as oettinger. Not saying anything wrong with that :cool:.
-
I don't think there is much diff in performance, if any. Oettinger is cheaper.
-
The Ed30 IC is 50% bigger than the standard GTI so I have been told. The APR IC looks and sounds to be a good choice which is 100% bigger than ... well not sure now, one of them.
-
....Unless the Jetstream gives us a very hot summer in the UK, an aftermarket intercooler isn't really worth it unless you do very regular track. The stock fmic is known to be especially efficient and I know that Forge's first efforts had great difficulty trying to improve it. :cool:
-
Very true, I was thinking more along the lines of if I got a K04 kit :laugh:

I doubt that... I think E30 and GTI have same size IC, but Audi S3 has bigger IC.

....Hmm....I wouldn't do so without firstly being very confident and well informed about what else you need to do to a standard GTI engine.

Oettinger ripping folk off imo.the s3 and Oet intercoolers are identical by all accounts.
the audi s3 intercooler will fit the ed30 as a direct replacement and is almost half the price of the Oet one, i think wolfbane has the Oet one fitted, you will also need pipe work from the S3 too, this is on my shopping list after my brake upgrade
-
I heard different, also the new Leon Cupra has a bigger IC and with the Ed30 being the same engine I would think it the same in those to.
Awesome also seem to think the Ed30 is slightly larger, sounded like they knew what they were talking about.

I talked to Wolfbane and he advised me to install IC and exhaust BEFORE remap, because he has done the other way round, and when they measured output it was 15hp lower due to too low pressure in the system. Also, he said that IC is very effective keeping temp constant at 22 degrees when they were running tests in-house.
So, if you don't get S3 IC thru Oettinger, where do you get it?

Direct from audi parts dept.£250 not sure if that incl vat
