yes mate, running out of revs. shame that really. would have been good to go to around 120mph, this is the only time my bro would beat me as his MK2 would ovetake me/leave me.

how did you attach the oil catch tank. i just need to know where it plumbs in/out so i can do it.

How big of an increase in power do you notice with the IC?

i went from 90 to 100bhp on my car. i couldnt believe it. it is restricted due to the location (wing mounted) but wanna sort out my oil catch tank before i add my sharan intercooler. i may keep both intercoolers.
what do you guys think of that?

will the car be better off or will it be too restrictive?

If you use OE intercoolers, pressure drop will be HUGE with two I/Cs.
Better to use only one, or preferrably a more free flowing alloy unit.
