You have the tdi 140 right maxi?

I'm going to keep a eye on this thread see what difference they make and such.

How much was it and where did you get it from?

oh that's not a bad price.

So what are the main benefits seen with this intercooler change?

And what are the performance gains suspected on our car mate?

the intercooler will keep the air cooler for the turbo..not sure if I will gain any thing extra but will be interesting to see if it does as its going back on the same rollers

What pipe work do you need to make this fit, is there any modifications to the pipework to make it fit etc? Looking forward to your review once fitted :)

no pipe work at all Paul..you just need to cut the metal parts of your existing pipes than fasten them with strong clips

 :congrats:

So Bizarre......When at AKS, Alex suggested this intercooler and a De-Cat pipe + 2hours on Nicks Rollers (R-Tech) as a nice little mod. Alex suggested that it might be worth up 10 bhp but across the rev range as apposed to peak figure's.
Popped in to see Nick on Thursday but wasn't there. However the chap that was there said that it was a good idea and that they would be willing to do it.

So, I will be very interested to see how this pans out!!

Good Luck.

Ta.

Are there any downsides to fitting an S3 IC on a car sub 250bhp such as lag or boost iissues?

So are all the mounting point and fasteners the same?

And no fouling of other components in the surrounding area? Literally straight bolt on trim pipes up?
