When do you hope to have some testing data - like that RS4 before/after graph - and it would be really cool if you can do that comparison with 3B, ABY, RS2 and your intercooler... Ideally with K24 turbo running across the same declared boost profile for me, but also valuable with RS2 turbo test for comparison as it will be flowing that much more air.
Is it simple bolt on to existing x-member on S2 or RS2 ?
Any view on price yet ?
I am waiting for my Customer Car, to test it. I am doing only a Comparison with a RS2 Intercooler, because my Customer Car is an RS2.
Yes, its a very Simple Bolt on solution on the RS2, on the S2 X-Member, you need to cut the OEM IC Bracket, and drill 2 Holes, thats it, also very Easy.
Sorry to be a pain but I tell you - the easier it is to fit this onto the S2 x-member the better for you - more sales - I guarantee it !
Please explain in more detail the mods required to S2 x-member, or better still create some kind of adapter bracket that uses the existing holes on the S2 x-member to attach the new intercooler without any cutting or other irreversible mods.
Bolt-on mods have much wider appeal and will make this product more successful...
Umm, I seem to remember you said that 60 days ago not really...
I suspect a lot of folks on here would rather have a realistic time and a genuine estimate on pricing, rather than keep saying '45 days' and 'cheaper than an RS2'....cheaper by how much (1p) and bought from where (VAG or VAGparts?)
please read my other Posting and you will see the Price of 420 Euro.
I stand corrected (you actually said 45 days only 30 days ago )
Anyway, I don't want to argue with you, I actually want to know when they will be in production (in black) so that we can order them
FYI the current price in the UK of the RS2 item at the current exchange rate is €477.13 including UK purchase tax, so you are nearly €50 cheaper Any idea what the shipping costs to the UK might be?
Also, as Paul suggested, there will probably be more people going from stock S2 to this rather than upgrading from RS2 to this, so many more people would be interested in the improvement over S2 figures.
Does anyone with an S2 live near Wagner that can lend them a stock S2 unit for testing?

95 ABY S2 Coupe - Ragusa Green Subtle mods here and there
2011 A5 3.0 TDi - Lava Grey With every option available (except a towball)
Lupo´s new small picture seems to show 15 rows of active cooling bars and good looking external cooling on 16 rows with fin structure, that is tightly packed like in original IC.
=> EVO IC has bigger front area and slightly deeper. Wagner is doing professional development work. Looks good and the comparison chart will tell the final word.
I may be way off the mark here, but is silver not better for cooling properties? Maybe black would radiate the heat away better, but silver wont have paint to insulate it...???
Sort of.
Aluminum would be better for cooling but it is because it WILL radiate heat better. (The reason black stuff heats up in the sun, for further reading emissivity or black body on wikipedia, haha).
Highly polished aluminum surfaces are ideal for getting rid of as much heat as possible.
It may not be dominant but a radiation component will always exist to some degree, depending on the temperature of the surroundings. It makes more sense to have a polished one in my book (i would if i was upgrading it) but if you are that worried about the cosmetic effect then it won't make much of a difference.
True but a million -1 is still basically a million, the colour of the intercooler makes no difference to it's performance or else standard parts would all be silver
