Wow just looked on ebay and there was a 2nd hand Forge intercooler for £500 at a breakers so I bought it. Some one one must have had an accident in their modified S1 as there is also a set of h+r lowering springs and turbo back Scorpion exhaust on there too.

£500? I can get them for that brand new at trade prices, would want a bit more discount than that off an accident damaged car :/

Yeah but sadly I'm not you lol. I haven't seen any specials on intercooler on here so thought I would jump in before it sold. To be honest it looks brand new just like all the other parts on ebay from this S1 and 500 is still better than the 700 I was going to spend on the Wagner one. That 200 will pay for fitting it.

Hi Daniel it was the intercooler , h+r springs and exhaust. It's a company called vrs in Northampton. Not sure if they are selling them for someone or they have the actual car there. Seems pricey but 500 is better than 650 to be honest.

The car wasn't smashed up if it's off a blue S1 from VRS
 
Did someone have their car taken back to stock then? I just assumed it was a breaker
 
No the guy is not on the forum, but it was the blue S1 that made 422 BHP

Yes they still use the original dampers so it would not cause an issue with the adjustable damping system.

Your intercooler or car? If it's the latter, I shudder to think how much money you'll lose on it :blink:

That's good :) Well I'm off on a Euro trip this weekend so we'll see if the car feels low on power after I give it a good run in the Alps. After the drama I've just had with Audi, I am very reluctant to make any permanent alterations to my car.

audi upgrades
My car was at the dealership for over 5 weeks because the availability of parts for the S1 is shocking.
 
What parts did you need?
What if any,were the alterations you made,
and was this the reason for the parts!?

oooooh a secret :tonguewink:

Let's start guessing :grinning:

My guess is you changed something that Audi say caused something else to break and Audi didn't want to pay for it. Maybe a remap or similar?
 
You couldn't be more wrong, but that's a solid attempt at stirring s*** :)
