I have been looking at buying a small twin pass intercooler and just wanted to know your opinion on weather the design would be any more efficient than the original side mount. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Medium-65mm-2...ash=item5633a94e86&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

Might work on an A3, too much hassle to pipe for an S3 and still need to mount the MAP sensor (dependant on model).
Not sure how good they are flow wise but most front mounted IC's will do a better job of cooling than the SMIC's

as tufty said tbh, IMO its worth saving for a decent one or stick with std as twin pass is not worth it from my experiences

i know everybody says single pass is better but piping it isdifficult on my car. which intercooler would you recomend for my car its a 1999 audi a3 1.8t
my mate runs a twin pass on his Rado VR6 Turbo said he got better results with that than the normal one he had on previous to it
now i dont know what to do, i did buy a kit off ebay and i wasnt happy with it, it was the one that redirected the boost pipes completley, when i got it two of the pipes had slight leaks and it wouldnt fit, the bends on one of the pipes was wrong, if id persisted it probably would have fit but i just sent it back. the twin pass would be much simpler as i could leave the std pipes on. I just dont want to end up with it being worse than the side mount.
On my discovery you can buy a replacement cooler that fits straight where the original goes...Can't you do that with the S3 ones? Cannot afford £600 plus for the FMIC!!
