MK5 Golf GTI

^^^ I certainly haven't felt any additional lag on mine with the THS cooler TBH 

thats good to know then, im just not sure which way to go yet on the IC route. far to many options. im only running KO3 so im thinking the S3 or twintercooler will be suffircient for the max output of my car,i guess ill end up looking into prices including fitting to decide that way.

i wont get it over 285bhp without a ko4 conversion or bigger, are thre any cheaper vendors for the THS IC

Just a heads up but the twintercooler is much easier to fit and remove than this IC.
Handy for when you want to sell the car.   

Great write up Steve    Fitted in 3 hrs - not bad at all.. took me a 'bit' longer to fit the S3 I/C to my Ed30     I'll be looking to fit a Twintercooler in a month or so...

....Extremely useful real-world info, Steve - Nice one!

Do you have any logs before the intercooler was fitted, Steve?

I am trying to get hold of some from when Stage 2 + was installed with the original IC 

I will post the comparison if I can get these.

You asked for some data on S3 + Twintercooler
This is on a stage 2 GTi (not an ED30)

Ambient temp 25.5C, car been running for about 40 minutes before logging.

I'd be grateful for advice whether folks think the THS is overkill for a K03 or not.

Do we now know that there won't be turbo lag on the K03?

And will THS install if they supply? Whereabouts are they based?

I doubt that there'll be any issues with this seeing that there aren't any with the larger APR IC.

Cheers, bacillus - Just checking to see what's known.

Me thinks Hurdy is trying to flog you his twintercooler but will you be tempted.

THS are based in Bournemouth and fitting can be arranged via APD (a VAG Specialist and Revo dealer).

Many thanks for that info, Steve - Bournemouth/Poole is quite convenient.

The slippery slope never ends, eh?
