Right lads, its not for the 2.0TFSI but instead for the 2.5 TFSI.
Now the stock cooler is piddly, and suffers from bad heat soak at stage 1.

Anyhow I have 3 upgrade options available.
The wagner, the pro alloy and the forge.
The wagner is good for 460hp apparently, which isnt enough so straight off my list.
That leaves the forge and the pro alloy. Both cost the same.
Pro Alloy - 9.6 litres volume
Forge 12.6 litres
Now at first it might seem a simple choice. The forge is much bigger so thats the one to go for right? However Ive been told that thicker cores are more likely to see a pressure drop across them which is something I really dont want. Then theres also core design and endtank design, flow rates etc. Basically im hoping some one on here will know what they are talking about and will give me a definitive answer as to which intercooler would be better.
My HP aim is between 500-550 hp.
