Does anybody know what is needed to run twin intercoolers on a MK4 1.8t, apart from the 2nd intercooler obviously  :grin:

Cheers

Dont know much about it sorry guys, it is just an alternative to having a front mount intercooler and is listed on quite a few of the tuners sites now.

changing the subject slightly.... have you got any links for different tuner sites.  Haven't found many good ones really.  Thanks.

further cooling = more power... at the expensive of a bit more lag as the turbo has more volume to fill...

I've been thinking about this type of set up on my  Vento due to the extreme lack of space in front of the radiator on the mk3s for the fitment for a centrally mounted intercooler .
I have bought a secondhand Hofele type'R' bumper for £50 as I thought that when I ' eventually ' get a 20vt lump I could mount the intercoolers in the large side pods/scoops  i.e. S3 ones  or is that a sh!te idea :undecided:.

Does my arse look TOO BIG (to fit) in this (forum).... or was it something I said ?
