    Got a remap in April on my 130 sport, and on Saturday the intercooler blew apart, basically it blew the bottom plastic cap off. Normally I think the hoses blow off but my hoses seem good so they stayed on but the intercooler didn't lol!
    ive now fitted an intercooler from a 1.8t which I think are 180 bhp so hopefully should cope with my 165 bhp. It does look like the clips that hold the plastic on are stronger so fingers crossed.
    Anyone had similar?

    the hole in the pic is where the mounting peg was, it must have sheared off when it came off.

    add boost and any weak spots will show. you will probably find the cooler was ready to fail anyway, they cope with a lot more than your map will throw at it.

    Remap blew my intercooler , remap blew my turbo , remap ******* my clutch !

    Unless it's a very poor map with Mt Everest torque spikes it's because these components were near compromised to begin with .

    I did wonder if it may have been weak to be honest, it's done 150k so far so,you may well be right.
