My vote's on a new intercooler looking at the size of the box. Although those bolts look waaay longer than the ones i used....and there's not enough bolts in the pack. Perhaps the S3 is a bit different to the Golf R in this respect?
Ok mabye its not an intercooler.Comment

As above mate, read that it's better to get longer temporary bolts so you can slide the aircon forward without removing before you lift the cooler out. We shall see, giving it a bash tomorrow...Originally posted by Lucas_R View PostComment

In other news my old lady sent my Xmas present early. Would be rude not to install before the tune. don't tell her though, she thinks it's under the tree...

Did you get the new version with the larger parts to suit the Golf R/S3 boost levels?
The original version tended to leak boost apparently, there some details about it in this thread somewhere GFB (Go Fast Bits) DV+.....anyone using it yet?
but its an awesome bit of kit! installed on in a mates MkV GTi and such an upgrade over stockComment

Thanks for the info dude, had already read upon that previously.Originally posted by 14nce View Post
As far as I know they don't supply the original version anymore, receipt states later model European version so assuming it's covered the original leaks experienced.
Also got bored waiting for a lift to the pub so fitted the led interior lights...

Got a bit closer to installing the intercooler...
Stuck some tape on to protect the wings...
Then ripped the bumper off with one swift ninja swipe...
Pretty amazing what you find, a bug, no biggy...
Then wtf is that...
That's right, a bird with no head...
Anyway, got the new black ed bits on so happy about that...

Audi S3 - Watch this space
Those silicone intercooler pipes are the same brand as the pipes on my AmD intake. I take it that intercooler came from the UK?
Good to see its all back together. Looks tuff with the all black front end. How does it drive with all the new gear?Comment
