Update

Thx for your answers, I just got a new front mount intercooler installed, from Darkside-developments, it fitted the old hoses, but were pretty much a bitch to install

It looks awesome, I have a little difficulty dertermine how much effect it makes yet, I took it for a smaller ride 5 kilometers, on the highway, and it seems like its torque is drastically improved!

However, the temperature dropped to 24 degrees Celcius, and Ive usually driven in 28 degrees, the last 4 weeks, so Ill see tommorow how much it bennefits from extra cooling.

What size is the intercooler is it the universal fit one dark side do?

No mate, its the one fitting the 2,0 and 1,6 tdi..

they say its a more or less direct fit, but you need to cut a big deal of the frame.

and have to relocate a sensor down right side of the frame, but i used the old pipes..

the darkside logo is looking good, and i took it for a spin today.. when my dpf **** isnt acting up, it pulls really really well, i expect the 340 torque have went up..

Im considdering raising boost pressure if possible, i dont know what psi it is after my remap, but i read with the much larger IC i can more safely raise it.

Dont know if its true tho
