Thanks Pudding! I've actually found a second hand pre 2009 s3 intercooler for £220 with hoses. If id seen this before agreeing to buy, I would of checked Darkside out! all good, hopefully the one I'm getting is worth the slight saving.

No worries. With s/hand intercoolers, I would take the time to clean them out thoroughly in case of turbo failure and also get a pressure test. You can do that simply with a cheap gauge and a bike pump :happy2:

Right will do, cheers. What’s the best way cleaning it?
Second:
I’ve decided to just get a new oem S3 intercooler from Darkside. I was just wondering if anyone thinks it’s worth upgrading to the Forge Turbo Hoses (https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-brand/forge/forge-turbo-hose-kit-for-vag-2-0tfsi/), or is it not worth it; will the originals do the job?

The original hoses will do the job, you must have to cut the hose at the metal bit, try to get it as tight to the metal as you can to save as much hose as possible.
