lol definitely and anyone who says it's no good should contact Niki at r-tech who will put things right :signLOL:
I can also say these Chinese copies will easily do the same job as any other fmic although figment is very tedious. Been there done that with my last car and took a whole six hours to do including chopping the cross member and manufacturing your own pipes with odds and ends lots of swearing too :doh:

Sorry to hijack the thread and I am clueless really on this sort of stuff but would an S3 intercooler be good enough for a K04 Stage 2+ as I have seen they can make around 380bhp.
Only reason I ask is I have a generic map on my ED30 and want to get rid for an R-Tech map so toying with the idea of collecting the Stage 2+ parts and going straight for Stage 2+

an s3 intercooler will make upto 380bhp but its the heat recovery that they suffer with a better intercooler will be more consistent over more pulls

would you want more than 360bhp with a mk5 gti? well... without spending an absolute fortune to accommodate?...
DANBOY66:
Your missing my point
Heat kills power
The s3 intercooler can make the power but when it's starts getting very hot after a bit of abuse the s3 intercooler begins to struggle with the heat
Then the ecu will retard timing making the car slower but still safe to cope with the heat
