My vote goes for a front mount IC like the Forge one as the S3 one would be further back and not be as visible.

Bingo!  :smiley:

Forge Twintercooler painted black, and the S3 i/c well burried out of sight.  :wink:

A front grill - which actually needs the bottom lip pushing back in line ;)

I've tried, and I'll be fcuked if I can get it to properly line up.  :sad:  Anyway, only hedgehogs get that view!  :wink:  :grin:

In my best possible Rolf Harris impression - can yer tell what it is?



Is it your electric shaver with a gti cut guard.

One serious beard for that mofo!  :sick:

wow, a twintercooler and S3 IC together on a golf!

Guess there should be no heat soak on that vehicle.
Without traction power is nothing!

Well, the S3 cooler is quite a bargain, and I thought it would be rude to not fit the Forge one at the same time!

Guess there should be no heat soak on that vehicle.

Better not be!  :shocked:

It is actually a lot more consistent in terms of power delivery.  A bit hard to really describe, but nothing like a remap.

how did you get the twintercooler IC silicone hoses to fit or did you use the hoses meant for a TT?

You ask Forge to supply the S3 hoses - though they needed some trimming.  Still not quite right, but that's another story!  :rolleyes:

Roughly how much hp gain is this set up meant to give out of interest?

Technically and officially - none.  Although there will be some increase.  But I don't do rolling roads (well not until I get a remap  :wink:), so I can't actually tell you how much gain it is giving.  But it is a definate improvement.

The main advantage of bigger and/or additional intercoolers is a considerably more stable output even under very high ambient and underbonnet temperatures.  These really come into their own if you have other tuning work done as well, from a simple remap, through to zorsts, hi-flow sports cats, bigger turbos, uprated injectors and fuel pumps, etc.

TT, so you still have your MK5? I thought you crossed into AUDI territory fully?  :undecided:
