Stage 3 k04 GTI >

- Dyno before Forge twintercooler > 374HP @ 3 degrees ambient temp
- Dyno after Forge twintercooler > 382HP @ 13 degrees ambiebient temp

If I would made the dyno at the same ambient tem I would probably have seen another 5-7HP wich means the Twintercooler added about 12-15HP

So you made some really impressive gains then with the Forge!  Bad news for me as I think I am going to have to spend some more money again....

I have ran both the Forge and THS Cooler..

Forge had lower temps and quicker recovery in my experience.. Im only talking a couple of degrees but it all helps I guess..

I have the Forge, it looks cool ( excuse the pun) and easy to fit. Certainly didn't take me 3 hours to fit. Also it's easy to take off if you want to sell on.

 Regarding weight it's quite light, you'd nearly balance it on your little finger :P. The S3 one is heavier than the OEM one anyway so i' doubt there would be much difference in weight overall.

I've got pics but without the front bumper installed. Intake temp would be about 10 degrees less than ambient. Although the Forge doesn't seem do decreAse the temps more than the S3 IC, thr car definately pulls stronger !

Ah, sorry, I wanted to say 10 deg more than ambient, not less :)) . No idea about pressure drop but I can't feel any extra lag as compared to just the S3 IC, au contrary, I'm under the impression the car has a little more torque down low !
