Title: Adding a Forge Twintercooler...
Post by: berg on July 16, 2012, 11:46:25 am

after much deliberation I have decided am going to add the above to my set up (along with the Super Pro Group Buy this will be one of the last performance mods I do... accept the 911T brake upgrade of course  :evilgrin:)

can those who have this set up along with their oem cooler and/or uprated cooler confirm the benefits and their experiences of running such a combination? no regrets i take it anyone?

Absolutely no problems here - intake temps kept good even on a K04 car with Twintercooler plus OEM intercooler

When you say OEM you mean S3 cooler?

I'm also thinking about getting one of these,heard that the AirTec one is exactly the same as the forge one & it's 400ish quid..

Note; someone had trouble fitting an Airtec one the other day and were dubious about the core too... do your research, though big on the ford scene...
