Great gains and great pricing, do you know if they'll slot into an S3 'cooler easily enough???

Just thinking about the future  :wink:

I'll ask Anthony for ya, but if the stock pipes don't fit an S3 IC, then these won't. They'll have to do a seperate kit for them.

But the fitting was easy tho on mine. Anthony was saying it could be done on people's driveway as front bumper removal is not necessary. Just need the right tools for it!



I seem to think, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, that if you've removed the plastic/metal sections of the OEM pipes, then the only difference is the presentation on the S3's intercooler.

i.e. it has metal sleeves you clamp a hose onto, rather than a 'female' end of the OEM style coupler to accept the 'male' end and spring clip.

So, if you removed the coupler from the SFS hoses on the intercooler end, and hoping there's enough length, you should be able to just clamp them onto an S3 'cooler?? This assumes the inlet/outlet is in the same position as the GTI 'cooler, so you don't have to bend/reposition the SFS hose.

Sideways yo!

Hey, I hadn't even clocked that! Nice oval, get a "my other cars" thread up  :happy2:

My first car was a '67 (sloping headlight) 1500 ragtop, 17th birthday gift in bits and built it with my Dad. Swapped it for a Bay camper and went travelling in it at 18... great days.

Back on topic, Lee - do you know if I ordered a set now they'd be the revised version with the kink/dent for the fan clearance?

bit of a thread resurection here but is there a a specific reason part of the oem discharge pipe as well as the neuspeed uprated version are made of metal


where as SFS are non stop silicone. like the look of it but slightly dubious

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.

Over the top mod list ;o)

Fitting this at home on your drive isn't going to be easy at all unless you have all the right tools and have experience in such work. Look what happened to illyun!

fitting what, the S3 IC or the hoses. the hoses ahouldnt be hard to fit as long as you have your car raised enough on ramps and is chocked.

....Sorry, I meant the S3 i/c but I probably couldn't manage the hoses either!
