Stage2+ Edition 30s
NB07:
i havent got the intercooler yet until nearer to summer but my car is currently on B8 T5 F6 and it seems to go very well!! :driver:
has anyone tried running with and without a big intercooler at stage 2+ in the summer and how long does it take to get serious heat soak?? im pretty certain i will get a big intercooler like the TSH/APR but is the S3 one enough? i cant imagine the S3 cooler would be up to the job at this level similar to why i think i will save for big brakes rather than S3 ones, or am i missing something?? :chicken:

I wouldn't stay for long with the OEM IC with stage 2+. At 30 degrees external temp, IAT would reach 80-90 degrees on stock IC. Using the S3 IC would decrease IAT by about 20 degrees. Still, with S3 IC only I feel it still isn't enough when very hot outside. I'd say don't risk it. An S3 IC is about 3-400 Euros. Install it before summer !
GTIjames:
agree with fusco - i was running stage 2+ for a couple of months over the summer before the forge was fitted
definite drop in performance on a hot day after some spirited driving - i also noticed when wearing shorts how hot my legs got down by the pedals - felt like there was a electric heater on full whack

^^^ x2 (apart from the shorts) :laugh: :laugh:
