S3 Intercooler Group Buy Feeler
« on: March 29, 2009, 10:35:20 pm »
Dear All,

Would anyone be interested in a group buy of S3 intercoolers ?  Not sure on discount available as yet but have been assured a good discount.  Would anyone be interested ? Currently JKM are asking £345 http://www.jkm.org.uk/performance/tfsiintercoolers.htm, they will be significantly less than this !

Anyone interested ?

Me first:-

I didn't think to be honest, a best mate works for a local VAG garage and is attempting to negotiate an amicable deal ... just merely putting feelers out at the moment.

Cheers TC  :happy2:

Last October Matt did the IC and hoses for around £280. Mind you, that was before the £ went downhill versus the euro.

I was under the impression that the hoses were only required if you were K03 equipped !

U 100% need hoses as the fittings are not the same and the bends are not the same as the ones on the Gti

any point in this if you are only running a remap? is this more for when you got to stage 2 and beyond?

excuse my ignorance but what difference would this make? or is purely something that would accomdate other mods?

The GTi tends to heat soak fairly easily once remapped.

The extra cooling potential of this upgrade will be felt in especially in the summer by a lessen drop off in power vs the oem IC.
