Or can i use the  oem pipes, i have my car booked in on Thursday so need to get buying today if i need replacements. Thanks in advance

i used the standard intercooler pipes but you have to cut the metal connector off the end that connects to the intercooler and use a jubilee clip.

To do the job right get the S3 inlet and outlet pipes to the cooler they aren't that expensive

To me £130 is a waste of money.

Jubilee clip and loads of people have run high power with no issues. But at the end of the day its upto you!

I decided id try with the jubilee clip if i have problems ill spend the extra cash.
