Help..Which intercooler?

[SteveP]

I will be looking to get the THS Intercooler for mine shortly (similar to the APR) but much cheaper.

Ran one on my Mk5 ED30 and made a big difference.

Yes they take a little longer to install than the forge (I was quoted 3/4 hour labour more for the THS) but I really dislike the extra pipe work the forge includes and way it splits the airflow.

@KennyGTI, it's doesn't require any of the coolant dropping or the headlights relignment to install an S3, APR or THS replacement IC

thanks for for the info Kenny, i guess its the forge then should be doing this next week at jkm in Portsmouth.they're also selling it for £470

any ideas on how much fitting might be by any chance? also any opinions on the colors of the hoses

just so your aware, that is 470+ VAT.

good luck with whatever you choose, ive personally gone with the forge one for my MK5.

well.. i might just save up and go for the top. I plan to do a APR remap anyway so using there IC should do some good aswell...

tho this THS IC looks quite promising too decisions decisions

okay i've decided to go for the forge..but i have one more question does anyone have any opinions on the neuspeed turbo inlet pipe? im thinking of getting this done whilst im at it

The OEM pipe looks very restrictive! But nearly £200 for a pipe!!!  Speak to Forge and ask them if they can make one, usually they are quite good that way if there is a market for it and it will be a lot less I think!

i agree with kenny that is a bit over priced, not sure that you will get the gains you expect with it to be honest. endy, make sure you ring the guy i mentioned and ask him about the inlet pipe too as he is a top bloke with loads of knowledge who is here to help 

kenny - on a side note sorry but why go for the carbonio if you are going for a blueflame full system?! surely you can find a proper cold air intake and not bother with that, if your going the full hog with a TBE then you need a decent intake. maybe the carbonio is different with the MK6 so sorry im just curious.

sorry for the hi-jack

What do you mean, it is a CAI? This is the same piece of kit APR use on there Stage 3 kit.

i got a an email regarding if they had a turbo discharge pipe similar to the Nuespeed and this is what they said: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260701&product=FMABPSCI

it says its for the scirocco but im guessing it would fit fine...

also is there any updates on the blue flame exhaust?

Am still waiting for mine to be delivered
