Intercooler minefield !!

[martziniuk]

Alot cheaper than another intercooler. Devils own kits are about £270.

BTW im proposing that you fit the S3 coolee, as well as the WMI

Had a THS cooler on my ED30 and the first new bit of hardware I bought for me new project was a THS, it's a well made bit of kit that works

Paid AwesomeGti added tax and went for the APR, going to get some logs done when VagCom turns up (Damn bank holiday post :( )

Well built, think it's the same size / performance to the THS, the money saved buying the THS could get WMI

Will post the Air intake temp results 

If its an option some people (me) remove the aircon radiator to get more air to the cooler

The APR is slightly smaller than the THS one Mike 

THS = 610mm x 415mm x 57mm = 14.44litres

APR = 590mm x 410mm x 57 mm = 13.79litres

Damn you Awesome! 

[Tfsi_Mike]

where's the best / cheapest place to get the THS ? 

[SteveP]

Email THS and say your from this site, you might be able to get something off

Negligable difference in performance or worth the swap?

With that amount of difference in size I would very much doubt you will be able to tell.

[Janner_Sy]

Make a twintercooler out of the apr and THS. That would be for winners

[Tfsi_Mike]

I wonder if there are any major design differences that would show comparable difference in performance.  Looking forward to logging intake temps on the APR now.

Call it the Mk5golfGti.co.uk Super Cooler lol

[GNJ_Motorsport]

Go for the twintercooler, for no other reason than I have them in stock 

On a serious note, I will be going for the twintercooler on my S3 I think. I think it is the best option all round from what I have seen and read about them, from a performance, cost and ease of fitting/removal point of view as well.

[gobbleplease]

I think im going to go for the ths, and sell the s3 cooler that way it should only cost me about 500 fitted (with a little discount )

i might add spray system at some point too

[baldwined30]

You got me thinking about that now and I haven't even fitted it yet! Although saything that, with the S3 and for the use I have for the car, it should be enough to smooth things out! Think if anything, ill save up for a diff!
