S3 cooler is a worthwhile upgrade.  :happy2:

Does whacking on an S3 intercooler potentially mean that you can run more timing?

Possibly, but ultimately you can run stage 2+... :)

I didn't mean twitter cooler, that's iPhone for you...  :signLOL:

Jabba Luke's (400bhp) ED30 was running an S3 Alloy intercooler, said it worked just fine  :happy2:, no need for expensive Twitter-coolers or THS-books

I wasn't questioning the S3 intercoolers function. I was just asking what benefits does it have? I.E. on a stage 1 car... would this be beneficial? Could the timing be increased?

I run both the s3 and the forge on mine. To be honest it made very little diffrence probably because the S3 cooler was working fine anyway  :wink:

I thought the s3 cooler was good on both my 2+ eddy and gti
Performance wise even without adjusting the settings you could feel like you had bolted something on that gave more you more power deffo worth doing and not just for a power point of view.

@ bacillus:

You are either:

1) - A geek who keeps written records of all our individual mods.

2) - A female because you remember every single word said or written.

:laugh:

Having said that, I have been grateful to you many times for being told about a mod to my car which I had forgotten!  :happy2:

In two minds whether to go Stage 2+, or just stay stage 2 and get the settings adjusted to suit the hardware set up...?

What's better, any advice?
