are those 18" wheels??

so you have a forge IC and a GT28RS turbo?
i think i know what is going on...
Forge IC is more than good enough for the stock K03s, stock or even chipped.
it's even good for a K04-001 turbo.
but i don't think it can flow enough for the Garret you have? :-s
i could be wrong but i won't be surprised if this is the problem...

Ummm, no its not - its even more restrictive than the stock intercooler, and from all the tests we have done, you are better off not using it, even on a stock car - good for looks, that's about all.

Anyway, I sent Plautos a message & going to send him our test data so he can test himself.

diddn't know it was even MORE restrictive than the stock IC.
i knew for sure it was not the IC that the polo need, but as far as i've read it does elliminate heatsoak??
the reason why i said it should be good for K04 is because i know someone with Forge IC and K04 that claims it's still verry good for this turbo... verry good to know you guys tested it!
now i'm 100% sure i did a better choise with the seat sport IC i'm running :-D
ever tested this one by a change?

@plautos: sorry to "invade" youre topic about the IC stuff.
best video's i've seen in a long time involving a GTI :-D

I will try to get some time to post up the testing data - we did this to show to at least 5 of our customers that lost a significant amount of boost & power when swapping the stock intercooler to the Forge unit. We have flow bench testing data, dyno logs & road logs. But that's for another thread! Sorry, never tested the Seat one!
