Forge have done a fantastic job of not only creating products that cause no end of confusion and controversy but at the same time actually work better than anything else out there on the market! Love it..  :grin:

Just to add a few comments , when we did the original development on the MKV Golf we undertook testing with 3 different types of air core , including bar & plate ,we looged intake temps on the road and tested on the dyno , , please dont thik we just offer on the forst air core we can find, the Twintercoolr is tried and tested  , the pressure drop is next to nothing , most of the misinformation has been caused by other manufactured brands . We have never seen an increase in water temperatures whne fitting the twintercooler , again in the development stages we send a Twinter to one or our Dubai dealers to test in 40 degree heat , this was also undertaken on the race track , the temps didnt increase at all.... please remeber when you buy from Forge you are buying peace  of mind , if you are not happy , you simply send it back for a refund !!

yep, nothing to do with the APR, its not even a consideration of mine. partly due to the fact the APR is a grand and i can not justify spending that on a cooler. im confident the forge will be a great addition to my car, just cant wait to get it on!  :party:

Hmm, perhaps when I get down my mods list as far as intercooler, I will consider the Forge Twintercooler rather than the S3.

Id say not to bother with a forge in your case RR.  think about it, your running the same power as an S3 car anyway, and the S3 cooler is good on the S3s all the way up to stage 2+ power. 

Id just stick with an S3 in your case.   that is unless you are looking into an uprated HPFP in the future then id be thinking about a twintercooler or THS

....Useful advice, Sy  :drinking:

I'm currently running on a standard oem intercooler. Def not thinking of going Stage2+ as it would make everything work that much harder and I want longevity.

I've been stage 2+ for about 15k miles Robin and so far everything has been ok (touches wood)

....Oh I don't doubt that Stage2+ (especially Revo) is 'safe', but personally I just don't need any more power, nor to run components harder. It doesn't mean they're guaranteed to break but there is absolutely no doubt that Stage2+ runs things harder according to Keith @ JKM who's real-world knowledge is very substantial.

S3 is good, but Forge+S3 is so much better. Forge will do brilliant deals on there stuff and i believe the S3 cooler was around £250 when i bought it from Audi.

What about the APR compared to the THS?

^^ This might help.  Thin the APR cooler is bigger than all the above
