[s-cars] Dual Intercoolers?

[Paul.Park at colorado.edu]

I'm just wondering if anyone has done a dual intercooler setup, a la the Audi
TT.

Any pros and cons to this?

A pro, would be that the intercooler wouldn't be as noticeable as a fmic. You
wouldn't have to chop up a bumper, or get a new bumper to fit the added IC.

One con would be the piping between the IC on the right, and to the original IC

on the driver's side. The oil cooler would have to go somewhere else, but
that's no biggie I guess(?). A chance to mount an uprated oil cooler elsewhere.

Perhaps the real unknown, would be if power would decrease because of loss of
pressure going from one IC to the next IC?

I'm not too sure of waht I'm saying, but if there are two intercoolers on the
1.8Ts, why not on the big brother, the 2.2T?
