CTS Turbo direct-fit intercooler for the VW MQB MK8 Golf GTI/Golf R with an improved black finish.
Upgrading the intercooler is important for maintaining a low intake air temperature (IAT) and optimal vehicle performance. With standard or less capable intercoolers, heat saturation can lead to a loss of performance and knocking or reduced ignition advance.
The CTS Turbo premium intercooler is a direct replacement for the factory intercooler. The high-flow core helps maintain a low charge air temperature and provides more consistent power. It allows for a small pressure drop while also allowing air to flow unobstructed to the radiator.
Silicone hoses are included.
Features:
- Dense bar-and-plate core with cast end tanks, suitable for up to 600 whp.
- Directional fins are cast into the end tanks and help ensure even air distribution through the intercooler.
- Full compatibility with adaptive radar cruise control (ACC) and the forward collision warning system.
- One of the largest intercooler cores on the market with fully direct-fit installation.
- Computer-aided design (CAD) for excellent performance and precise fitment.
- The high-flow core allows unobstructed passage of outside air to the radiator.
The supplier also states compatibility with Audi A3 2.0T 8Y and Audi S3 8Y vehicles from model year 2022 onwards.
Suitable for: VW Golf VIII (CD1).
