[EP4] Front Mount Intercooler (Twintercooler) and HID Headlight Install - Golf GTI Mk5 Build

In this episode I install a front mount intercooler (a twintercooler) and delete the factory intercooler piping. While the bumper is removed I also fit the Supernova HID headlights and fog lights.

Throughout this series I will carry out a variety of common mechanical repairs on this vehicle before a host of performance upgrades in preparation for some serious boost. As always my series will have no tragic humour, no fancy editing, and no advertising, just a strong focus on DIY work and building things on a strict budget in your own shed.

Nice work! Good advice for me as an mk5 gti owner. Thanks! Ever thought of upgrading the rear bumper to an r32 one? I did, and it looks great!

Actually got a GTI Pirelli bumper I’ve been waiting to paint and fit!

Hi! could you please put the links to the parts in the description?? Thank you

[@allroundtechnician]

Do you notice any difference in power since the intercooler is installed?

[@alexronaldo3377]

How does it hold up? Lower temps? Any gains?

[@kimilesnipez]

Do you have a detailed video about how to make the xenon lights work? I want to fit them to mine but have halogenand I would need to re wire and program vcds. Where did you pick the lights up from?

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

No need to re-wire or reprogram with these. They are a plug and play, they contain the balast to mimic the standard halogens. Google Supernova lighting Golf Mk 5 headlights

@@cheapthrillsgarage thank you so much for replying back. These lights look awesome. Just to confirm are they xenons or LED? All the people I know have bought oem xenkns and converted their halogen models with vcds and re wiring the cecm which is so confusing.

@@kimilesnipez I think they are HID, that is what the add says.

[@kimilesnipez]

@@cheapthrillsgarage did you have to buy the LEDs for it aswell? Do they just plug into the ballast? Not a clue haven't done this before and I just want to make sure exactly what I need to do as the website doesn't have loads of info

[@cheapthrillsgarage]

@@kimilesnipez Nope did not have to buy anything else, ballast, led's and plugs are included. They plug in as factory headlights.
