Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Why would he think that, contrary to your own popular belief the R is still in great demand in any config...

                      • It's in the radiator assembly... pictures care of APR:



                        Note, that is NOT the stock intercooler. The stock one is thinner and has plastic end chambers.

                                You've got a 90TSI

                                The intercooler is integrated into the intake manifold.... just in case you were wondering why it was so massive


                                @brad... I think you missed his sig


                                Edit: Here are two images of the 90TSI. The first just the engine looking at the intake manifold. When seeing it from the front you can see that there is a "metal block" exposed.


                                Here is a cutaway showing the intercooler and airflow:
