not only does the inlet/outlet position need to be the same, but even though the S3 IC is bigger the inlet/outlet diameter is smaller than the gti/ed30/cupra.

Yes, you're right - I hadn't thought....
The GTI cooler's inlet/outlets are the "female" end and have a bigger O/D - the S3's inlet/outlet is the opposite, so the "male" end, as you're clamping a pipe onto them, so a smaller O/D. Assuming the pipework is the same bore, which I'm sure it will be.
That'll save someone some fuss! Thanks.

you can see here the issues of the IC/TB hose being to close to the RAD fan.

Pipes now fitted.

have spoken to SFS and dubtek who stocks deals with SFS, and they have confirmed that the issue with the intercooler/throttle pipe being to fat has been solved.
From Dubtek
"they did modify their original kit so it now has a flat spot running down past the rad fan".
also said
"We've added a second security measure to the kit in the way of a big p clip which wraps round the hose and attaches to the block. The point where this is is where its nearest to the fan, and in 8000 miles of use its caused us no rubbing/chaffing at all"
good news.
I have my reservations slightly about the metal turbo discharge section being completely removed and replaced by silicone, but Dubtek and chungster have had these on for ages so they must be fine.
Im pretty keen on getting these. I think with their design the gains will be marginally more over the neuspeed Discharge and charge pipes, which are also more expensive i think.
what do you guys think

i have these hoses coming next week for my GTi, whoop whoop :smiley:
i'll be fitting them in the new year, would a tweak on my APR map be required do you think?

Did you get them from dubtek? I shall be ordering mine in the new year aswell.
do you have the ability to do logs etc. if so it'd be interetsing to see how it allows your car to build up boost quicker. will you be fitting them your self?
Janner_Sy:
could be worthwhile to have a tweak. how much is it dfor a tweak?
that why revo is good with the select plus plus, as you can tune it to make use of new mods.
im getting my map tweaked in the new year to max the output with the cat back, IC and hoses as that was in the original price
