They go straight on and you need the S3 hoses. BTW they're a great mod I love mine.

Yes they should be as the GT TDI uses the 55mm hub same as the GTI

I take it that the S3 brakes will fit under the 17 Monza's or will I need 18s?

Aside from Scotty providing direct proof, the S3 brakes are the same as the brakes on the A3 3.2 which was available as standard with 17s from the factory. They're definitely not a problem.
