Hi
I have bought an S3 intercooler as an upgrade for my GTI. I just wanted to know which hoses i should get an if i require different bolts/screws to fit it?
I have found a hose kit from darkside. Is this the best option.
Part numbers would be great thanks.

You can use the standard hoses. Just need to cut the bayonet fittings off the end of each pipe, which can be done with a pair of side cutters in a matter of minutes. You will need a couple of hose clamps as well.

Well depends how handy you are but took longer than 1 hr you have to remove the whole front end. Yes need the m6x16mm get some from eBay.
