Intercooler mod

I just had my car retuned by some guys from Australia and am quite happy with the results. They suggested to me the next step I could go is the intercooler/cooling system which would make a big difference in a warm climate. This is a link they gave me to their partners in Germany who make some interesting parts, and I thought this might interest some of u.

They have a bolt on upgrade kit which is shown in the last picture. Not sure what the details are, will find out when I have the $$ for my next mod.

i saw that but i wasn't sure how a few tubes and a tiny catch can would "make a big difference in warm climate". are they saying that this is all you need to seperate the engine coolant from ic coolant? even so, i would think to make a "big difference" you would need to increase ic capacity.

That symbol looks like the euro symbol, so in US dollars the kit would be exactly 11,483.54.

I think there's more than that. It looks like a replacement intercooler with a new pump to me.

My tuner gave me a breakdown of the individual prices but I can't find it now. IIRC, the intercooler mod probably costs around 2800euros.

Guys from BPS chiptek (Bayside Performance). So far their work has been first class. They rewrote my ECU program based on dyno readings and mods I have, and the car is running great now.
