Are they telling porkies??

 

[ben20VT]

it s not an S3.

Darkside S3 Intercooler Core Size:
610mm x 415mm x 55mm - 70mm Inlet/Outlet

Genuine S3 Intercooler Core Size:
610mm x 410mm x 40mm - 57mm Inlet/Outlet

I ask them and they say it s come from Europe ...

Other than that, I think airtec stage 1 seems to be good product for price like you say LeonCR.

banksy think you're nailed on there. lets just say a lot of stuff we are sold gets a big mark up. some of it is scene tax, some service and backup. not just darkside, but everyone does this. it gets bought or produced cheap in the east and relabeled and marketed. sometimes it pays to use the bay, but some of these tuning shops do have some very good solutions and sometimes knowledge which is invaluable.
