In parts of rural mid-west America (Montana) it's not illegal to drink drive. If it now is, it's only happened in the last five (or so) years.

Five pint harness might help there  :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Thought I'd pick this back up again with a quick update.

I picked up the turbo kit on Tuesday, so that is now just awaiting the rest of the parts.

I've ordered a THS Intercooler, which I've been told is being dispatched on Monday. This intercooler is even bigger than the APR one and the flow handling logs that DomT has done show it is capable of handling up to 600bhp without issue. This should lower any flow losses as it means I don't have to have the Forge Twintercooler strapped to the front any more. :cool: Good price too, lower than the Forge add-on!!

Rod, pistons injectors etc are all on order from the USA and so should see them some time never soon  :grin:

I'm starting to get a little excited now!! :laugh:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Christmas comes earlier and earlier in The Hurdy Household! :evil:

Very interesting mods :afro:

Do you reckon that the THS i/c is overkill for a less modded GTI (not Ed30)?

You can never have too much cooloing Robin :cool:

Bear in mind that a modded GTI like yours is still pushing the K03S it would help to give it extra cooling.

The S3 can be bought for under £300 with the pipes

The APR one is over £900 :shocked:, yet has a smaller core than the THS

The Twintercooler is an easy fit solution, but again costs over £500

I didn't pay the full list price either as I got SteveP to haggle a full group buy discount :wink:

Offset that against the money I should get back from selling the Forge Twintercooler (£300) and it will have cost me less than buying the S3 intercooler and having to keep the Forge :smiley:

Considering the Mods you have Robin, and being stage 2, Intercooler would be one of the 1st engine mods to compensate for the higher demand on your engine. Would also help with the longevity without potential major future issues.
Im surprised youve not taken hints from especially Jkm gave you a while ago when we were all down on the Rollers .

Perhaps its in your plans??

Cheers for all the info, Hurdy :afro:

Phil - Yep, I've had other priorities re modding but now can see my way clear to upgrading the i/c. What you say makes sense.

Doesn't this modding EVER stop!!? [silly question!]
