Fitting S3 intercooler - uprated hoses
« on: March 13, 2012, 11:53:22 am »
Hi guys,

I've paid a deposit on an S3 intercooler that I'll be picking up this wknd in preparation for a Stg 2+ remap. As the front end will have to be off to replace my intercooler, I thought I might as well take the opportuniuty to uprate the hoses and things at the same time.

This is something I don't have the first clue about - which hoses would I need, and where's the best place to source?

Thanks,

Subegh.

There is someone currently offering custom stainless pipe work on the forum at discount price.

hmm can't find the thread for that one. what would be the advantage of stainless pipework over silicone?
