Pudding, it's going to go on a PD140 running a stage 2 hybrid. Currently getting boost leaks all over the place, so was thinking their oversized S3 and a hard pipe kit.

I ran that set up and it was brilliant and had no more leaks at all...only down side was the cost

I will get my Darkside S3 intercooler tomorrow and already have the hardpipe kit.. Hopefully all will be installed soon, haven't heard any bad things about this setup at all.

Personally I can't wait! :D

You made a boo-boo lol

I have the Darkside "S3" Cooler on my Scirocco
It's a THS one with Darkside written on the top.
Cheaper available on Ebay.
It works well for the money.

Also have their hard pipework kit. Average quality.
