Intercooler fitment
« on: August 16, 2014, 02:35:11 pm »
Hey guys, might be a stupid question but im interested in buying an intercooler of this lad with an S3 but I have a cupra. Now I know the s3 alloy intercoolers fit no problem, the twintercoolers tend to fit no probz however as this is a bigger intercooler than these im abit worried as to whether or not id need to do any mods to my front end to make it fit with no leaks and such and such...

Regards

Jamie

It ought to fit fine.   :happy2:  lots of people have the THS.  My APR is amongst the biggest coolers and it was an easy swap with the oem one
