Are these compatible with the ED30 also?

Considering the VF Engineering intercooler but not sure if the K04 has a different turbo housing to the regular K03 Gti, I have a feeling its just the hot side of the turbo thats different??

Hmm...

may be worth a call to forge, i dont know the improvements with the VF, but the forge seems very good

ain't it a bit too expensive?
Check out the Oettinger intercooler.

....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 :cool:.

I don't think there is much diff in performance, if any. Oettinger is cheaper.

The Ed30 IC is 50% bigger than the standard GTI so I have been told.  The APR IC looks and sounds to be a good choice which is 100% bigger than ... well not sure now, one of them.

....Unless the Jetstream gives us a very hot summer in the UK, an aftermarket intercooler isn't really worth it unless you do very regular track. The stock fmic is known to be especially efficient and I know that Forge's first efforts had great difficulty trying to improve it. :cool:

I doubt that... I think E30 and GTI have same size IC, but Audi S3 has bigger IC.
