Guys, i know this will have been posted to death but my phone won't let me use the search function today. Can someone let me know if i need new pipes when fitting an s3 cooler onto my 08 ed30? 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.

Cheers pal, have you ever had issues since doing that?

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

Flea bay seem to have them up for 130 is that about right

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.
