Forge intercooler

Very true, I was thinking more along the lines of if I got a K04 kit 

....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.

....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 .

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?
