....Yes, the thought did cross my mind, but I need to think about things a bit. It's only this evening that I've even started to think about intercoolers at all.

The THS intercooler arrived and has been duly despatched to Statllers to await fitment.

Ollie at THS e-mailed me to confirm that the cooler was designed to cope with cooling up to 550bhp without adversely affecting boost.

A quick comparison shows that the ED30 volume is quite sparse compared with even the S3 cooler let alone the THS one.



Although the ED30 outlet appears better than the S3 version it is restricted after the connector down to under 40mm. The THS is straight in to the cooler at 57mm.
