S3 Intercooler > 1K0 145 803 P
S3 Left Pressure hose > 1K0 145 834 AA
S3 Right Connection hose > 1K0 145 832 L

Some of these posts are very interesting. I was put off the S3 one as I was informed that it didn't have the cooling capacity of the APR one and that the APR one didn't fit a DSG (looks like it may do now ). The Oettinger one is basically the same as the S3 one and so I thought that it wouldn't have the added intercooling capacity of the APR one either. The Forge write up looks good with proven improvements in bhp and lbft, but my issue in the past was that it didn't look "stock". I'm over the stock look now and so don't mind if it shows at all.

Just my personal opinion Hurdy, I looked into the forge twintercooler pal and I couldn't help thinkin it looked like a botch job, I'm not doubting it works but it just looks half finished and sort of stuck-on if you know what I mean.
Think I'm gonna go the S3 route or maybe take a trip to the money tree in the back garden and get the APR one.

After we've done these mods Gaz we'll only be a short hop away from the big-ass turbo conversion JBS have quite a few options to go for

I would be very interested at that kinda price, any idea what price your looking at for fitting and it anything else is needed ? Just need the IC and pipe work...
