Howsit Guys, so I finally took the plunge and decided to install my S3 intercooler into the MK5.
I did it myself at home, took me and my buddy about 2 Days, But that's because I thought I bought the wrong mounting hardware, so the next day went back to the hardware store to get more.
But it turns out that the holes on the S3 intercooler were stripped, so I just retapped the holes to the correct M6x1.0.
I trimmed the stock boost pipes to fit the S3 Intercooler.
Pre-Install:
Some Missing Front End Shots:
Some Comparison:
Stock Thickness:
S3 Thickness:
When I Recieved The Car The Stock (Grey Inlay) Rims Had Some Curb-Rash From The Previous Owner, So I Found a Nice Clean Set Of OEM GTI Rims, With Black Inlays,
So Fitted Them:
Grey Inlay:
Black Inlay:
Next To Do Will Be Intake, Then Some Software.
Timelapse Of Install:
Stock Uninstall:
