Upgrade cooler for mk5 & 6...

This seems pretty decent for $560! It looks just at thick as the apr one which is twice the price but wether the core is as good who knows.... Shipping would probably be a killer!

Regarding cooling on these platforms we have quite a few choices in SA.

*S3 cooler @ R3600 is quite a bargain
*APR cooler @ R10-13k the best out there from US reviews but most expensive
*THS and Eurojet coolers from vag technik from R6-8k widely used in SA
*WMI systems with stock cooler seems to be almost the best bang for buck but you add complexity and the ability for something to go wrong.

Stock mk6 vs apr

I have a plan regarding coolingon my car. What i'm gonna do is buy forge twin boost pipes and then buy a universal cooler and use a twin setup. Will have to think long and hard about sizes and just measure the size on a twin cooler intercooler from outlet to outlet.

What about the Etuners twincooler?

What about the Etuners twincooler?

I sold my mk5 twin cooler to someone, it had blue hoses and he wanted black so he bought black ones and still has the blue hoses. I can buy them for cheap and buy a universal cooler like I had on my polo for R1000. All in it should cost me around R1500 to diy versus the R4500 etuners one
