Care to elaborate ??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

A tuner who owns and has been testing with an S3 has been less than pleased with the performance of the stock intercooler on said application.

We are working closely with him to develop the S3-specific TWINtercooler kit at his initial request.

While larger than the standard 2.0T FSI unit, it is still poorly placed on the S3 application and it is comparatively overwhelmed by the extra boost pressure, heat, and volume of airflow required by the S3, when stock as well as chipped.

Similar if not slightly higher gains should result in comparison to our existing TWINtercooler kit.

Does this mean the Forge/S3 IC will be bigger/more efficient than the Forge/GTI IC ??

If so will there be an option to install it on a GTI ??

How about those photos?. it is stock vs. S3 FMIC.
It is a little bit bigger and 1 cm thicker.
