:grin: :grin: :grin: my favourite place is to drive fast past schools :laugh:
time and place for everything stop talking stupid i am not 17
when sitting in traffic at pod heat soak on the s3 cooler was insane it got even worse when we turned the engine off the front mount fitted does not hold the heat as much as its further away from the engine
anyway i am never going to agree with your opinion on the s3 cooler but thats life we all have opinions like bumholes :happy2:

I think you are exaggerating. My 6R/S3 intercooler was absolutely fine this summer running 23psi, KO4. Temps were always under the 50 deg timing pull threshold, even on that 33 deg day we had.
I think if people are heatsoaking an S3 cooler on public roads with a K04, they're overspinning the turbo and it's time to fit a bigger one running slower but more cfm.

Aha, we're not talking about driving then! Any intercooler will heat soak sat idling for ages as there's no airflow, other than the fans. Agreed that pushing yours out further can help with that, but how does that affect the air guide cowling on the slam panel? Plastic end tanks are actually better in that scenario as alloy just absorbs all the heat and passes it into the core, but anyway, you're right, let's agree to disagree :happy2:
DANBOY66:
we agree on something :grin: :happy2:
sitting at a set of traffic lights getting ready to boot it away the s3 cooler will be heat soaking like mad and it would take longer for the air to cool as the air flow is much better on my front mount.
cooler air means faster car like winter and summer driving :happy2:

We got there in the end :grin:
Yeah I hate that VW sandwiched the intercooler between the radiator and A/C condenser!
I'm not that worried by traffic and idling scenarios, just so long as it does the business when booting it at speed, which it does!
