Default Would they really be any better than the 225 intercoolers?

I think I've heard that the TT has pretty large intercoolers compared to the S4, so I would imagine they're probably kinda close the RS4 size. Of course, I may be completely wrong about this, so don't take my word for it.

I'm sure it wouldn't be worth the effort on a 180 since everyone says you would have to do a lot of work to add the second intercooler like a 225 has.

Default I understand they are thicker and might not fit...I could be wrong

Then again..I am biased now with my FMIC...Ed, It will make a world of difference on your car...trust me on this...ECU will adapt very nicley and give you a performance bump to boot!

Ed, they don't package without some pretty serious surgery to the bumper beam and rad support panel

Default Do you have specific information, it could be of great use to me.

I'd GREATLY appreciate any tidbits of knowledge, if you need more specifics why that might help e-mail me and I can tell you particulars.

Default from what I have read, they would be a bit big, and for the effort

why go through the hassle, you are modding the car with a stage3, clutch, differential etc and you are worried about the intercooler invading space once reserved for the aliens?

MYGODMAN!

True. And the aliens are, I've decided, worthless. Autobot-esque, but of little value to me.
