Is the s3 IC a worth while mod?

Yes it is but it's labour intensive to fit...
Without traction power is nothing!

Yup - definately.  Even on a bog standard 200PS GTI - upgrading the stock intercooler is a very worthwhile mod.  Though the S3 cooler probably wont appear very high on peeps 'drool ratings'.

And whilst the actual cooler is quite cheap to buy, bacillus is correct in pointing out the labour for actually fiting it is relatively high.
