Golf edition 35 intercooler
b7unr:
Hi Yes it is a cdl engine with ko4 I have been told it's the same as the R just not 4wd, the only reason I didn't want to upgrade fuel pump is budget. They seem quite expensive as do all the the intercoolers. The s3 intercoolers isn't to badly priced but if it's the same size no point in buying it.
Apr said they can give me 333bhp with cold air induction and not the panel filter which maybe good enough, can't see the extra 30 odd bhp making that much difference for the extra £1000 for intercooler and hpfp tbh?. Or maybe it would. They also said no intercooler unless i track it whixh i dont. Also no hpfp needed, they said I could go straight to stage 2.
I'm a little confused.
R tech are to far away from me unfortunately but he did say hpfp and intercooler and I know he knows his stuff but so do Apr.

Ideally I need someone who has done turbo back exhaust and induction then upgraded the fuel pump and intercooler just so I know if it would make that much difference.
AJP:
An uprated fuel pump will be way more beneficial than an uprated intercooler. At Stage 2 you'll be on the edge of the standard pump's output. Honestly, inlet temps are down the pecking order at this point, unless you're beating the sh*t out of it.
The standard fuel pumps are inconsistent and become a bottleneck at Stage 2. Google 'tfsi stage 2 fuel cuts' and see what you think.
If your CDL has the S3/mk6 R cooler, then happy days. Get a Loba. Get the map.
If not, and you want to uprate the cooler, do so. But do it at a point when you can also do the pump, and then get the map.
Stage 2+ might as well be called Reliable Stage 2 for me.

I do give it some sh*tsh*t tbh but I'll put th intercooler a miss for now.
Awesome want £620 do you know anywhere cheaper.?

Try AKS Tuning. I've had all sorts off them before; they're usually the best prices, and they know their stuff. Give them a ring, mention you're on this forum and you should be able to get a better price. It's also worth fitting an RS4 return valve as suggested earlier in the thread. They're about 40 quid.
