We have a SCN Meet at Doncaster on Sunday so will be getting the OBD11 Dongle out to setup my trick lights and do any mods other members may ask for (assuming I know the coding).

Re Physical Mods Nex Week car is going in for a number of changes but for now the list is

Fit Leyo Catch Can and Racingline water bottle delete kit.
Fit new front top brace
Get Audi Aluminium sub frame fitted - leyo Subframe Bushing Insert kit being delivered on Saturday.
Full Wheel Alignment and possible Camber changes.

All above are to improve the handling of the car on the track.

More stuff may get done but not finalized yet.
I have the vwracing subframe inserts on mine just need some where to set it all up as now it’s driving all over the place

I need a intercooler just don’t no what one to buy

The guys have recommended the Wagner one, it does get lots of very good review's https://progressiveparts.com/wagner-tuning-vag-mk7-1-8-2-0-tsi-competition-intercooler-kit-200001048 and i did give you a link to a Stage 3 MQB Facebook page where you can confirm with other users what they actually use (for stage 3). I have also suggested you should talk to the people who are going to do your mapping for stage 3 to see what they recommend

I think there's a lot to be said for a 'good' intercooler. There's a reason why Revo, Racingline, Wagner are all the price they are, and why the one from China is the price it is. The amount of R&D that goes into it, the testing, the marketing and the results. Yeah there will be an element of premium added because of the name, but these products are proven to be good. If you're taking your car to stage 3, do you really want it to be powered by potentially untested, unregulated parts, or parts that have been tested over and over again, to the point where the manufacturer knows the breaking point?

It is a lot of money to throw about, and I completely understand the hesitation of ensuring you're making the right choice of intercooler. Sometimes the success stories of people running the unbranded cheaper parts do overshadow the pricier named products, but for me personally there would be so much doubt on what the cheaper product would actually be doing for and to my car - even more so because I know I won't get any support/warranty from them.

Well I have Revo and they are good, Wagner is Good, Racingline is good but if you are going with a stage 3 upgrade I would want to match the intercooler with the Turbo Upgrade and the Map that I was having done on the car to get the best performance and longevity.

Having said that all three names above make excellent products
