Has anyone paired an S3 Intercooler with a Forge Twintercooler?

[djhorace]

Looking at the possibility of a bigger intercooler in addition to the WMI. I already have an S3 intercooler, with no a/c core in front of it.

I am trying to decide whether an ITG on its own would be better than an S3 core with a Forge unit.

As far as I can see, the THS is possibly better due to OEM placement, less likely to see pressure drop. The Forge would be better due to more area open to air.

Has anyone paired an S3 core to a Forge? Bear in mind I have a Leon, so I would need to buy a Leon Twintercooler with S3 pipes/connections, and would need to sell them as a pair eventually too.

Ta,

Al

TC is probably either changing nappies or playing with trains.

Bare in mind i am no teccy but it works great so far. I was at PDtuning on there rolling road last week or so and he said this set up was really helping to be able to increase the timing i have my revo 2+ settings at boost 9 fuel 6 timing 6 with not the slightest sign of any knock on the timing, he even thinks i could get timing 7 on, how the coolers help all this i havn't the foggiest but i am happy for sure.

i was reading a seat website the other day where i think it was blade slapped a forge cooler on there and went to revo to have the car set up and they put the timing straight to 7 and said that is perfect

yeah mate thats right and i think he is still running the standard leon cooler behind the twintercooler. makes you think what you could run with the S3/forge setup together

warren on the other hand in his s3 said he gets slight timing pull on timiing setting 5 with his stock s3 cooler.

250BHP dead. Which did surprise me as i had got 259 previously on DD rollers without the pump, but the car is running spot on and the two curves matched each other really well. He reckons i should see another 20 - 25 extra BHP with an intake, which gives  275. And that is a realistic figure for a KO3 with my mods.
Still dont know how you get your numbers though.
