So, Pace are making me an uprated Intercooler & Radiator and should see it after the new year.
Previous PACE intercoolers have been tested and proven to give around 5% extra recouped power through decreased charge temps over OEM set-ups. Mine will obviously have the radiator too. If the car recoups 5% power then it should increase power by around 12bhp. Weight including extra radiator coolant will increase the weight by 8kg, but I can live with that if it gives me the power it should. Also given some of the longer term problems some 1.4TSI's have had, any extra cooling is worth it's weight in gold.
Should be the same as below...
