Is the S3 cooler actually worth it?

[18Edition30]

The s3 cooler upgrade on edition 30.....is it actually worth it?

How much bigger is the cooler than Ed30 one?

Expected benefits? More bhp? Lower intake temps?

Will

[edd666999]

depends on your stage of tune. but yes More bhp, Lower intake temps and more power for longer

Stage 1....

Stage 1....

IMO money would be better spent on handling/brakes mods.

But if you go further then id get one.

[Janner_Sy]

IMO stage 1 it isnt needed, stage 2 you should be considering it.

How much more can be expected, to run it with a twintercooler?

What would the benefit's be say with a s2, s2+ ?

TBH i look at it that it doesn't increase power, but it allows you to go all day long keeping the same power.

As heat soak takes over your engine will lose power...think someone quoted me 1degree is 1bhp and a stage2+ k03 engine without cooler after 2 runs is 50 degrees hotter than one with a cooler, so that's 50bhp because of your temperature.

Ed I could not have asked for it to be explained any better 

So the temps need to be reduced to keep engine power lasting longer 

So with the twintercooler and the s3 cooler, that would be a perfect combination?

that would be a good combination. I just have the s3 cooler and my temps have never been an issue.

I'm sure someone will be along soon, that has done both to compare 

[Itsagthing]

Just a twintercooler on my oe eddy cooler is perfect there really is no need for the s3 as well. Stg 2+

i run one with a twintercoooler, gained a fair bit more power but lost 10lb ft of torque due to greater area of air, still you cant feel the loss but you could certainly feel the extra power top end

S3 Cooler on my Stage 2 TSI, noticable difference for sure, and I find the power is more consistant, on the RR a while back on 3 pulls one after the other I was gaining power rather than losing it!

Daz_pd have you the one with alloy ends or plastic?

Plastic mate, everyone says the Alloy ones are better but I would say the difference would be very very slight in our climate, perhaps on a track yes, but I dont do trackdays.
