What is the primary benefit of installing this intercooler?

The main benefit is significantly improved cooling of the air charge coming from your turbocharger. Cooler air is denser, which allows your engine to produce more power and reduces the risk of engine knock or detonation, especially under load or with engine modifications.

Does this intercooler come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

The kit includes the intercooler core and custom-fit red silicone hoses. You will typically use existing mounting hardware from your factory intercooler, though it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components and procedures.

Why is this intercooler not CARB approved?

This intercooler is not CARB (California Air Resources Board) approved, meaning it is not legal for sale or use in California due to emissions regulations. It is important to check your local emissions laws before purchasing and installing this part.

Product Details

do88 is known for making well-built cooling components for performance vehicles. This intercooler is a prime example, designed specifically for the 1.8T and 2.0T engines found in many Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Volkswagen models using the MQB platform. If you're pushing your turbocharged engine hard, especially with modifications, keeping intake air temperatures down is crucial for consistent power and engine health. This intercooler is built to handle that job.

This is a substantial upgrade over the factory intercooler. It features a much larger core with a dense fin arrangement, which means it can dissipate more heat from the compressed air coming from your turbocharger. Cooler intake air is denser, allowing your engine to make more power and reducing the risk of detonation. The kit includes custom-fit silicone hoses in red, designed to connect the intercooler to your existing plumbing. The intercooler itself is constructed from aluminum, offering a good balance of cooling efficiency and weight savings. Installation involves removing the stock intercooler and fitting this larger unit, along with the new hoses.

Because this intercooler is not CARB approved, it cannot be shipped to California. Be sure to check your local emissions regulations before purchasing. This intercooler is a solid choice for anyone looking to improve their MQB platform vehicle's performance and reliability under demanding conditions.
