do88 VAG 1.8T/2.0T (MQB) BigPack Intercooler Kit w/Black Hoses

This is the do88 BigPack intercooler kit with black hoses, designed for VAG 1.8T and 2.0T engines using the MQB platform. If you're pushing your turbocharged VAG vehicle, especially one with the MQB chassis, you know that heat soak can become a real issue. This kit replaces your factory intercooler with a much larger, more efficient unit to help keep intake air temperatures down. Cooler air means denser air, and denser air allows your engine to make more power, more consistently.

The do88 intercooler itself is a well-built piece, featuring a bar-and-plate core design. This type of core offers a good balance of cooling efficiency and airflow. The core is substantially larger than the stock unit, giving it a greater capacity to absorb and dissipate heat. The kit includes custom-designed aluminum end tanks that are TIG welded for solid connections. It also comes with black silicone hoses and all the necessary mounting hardware for installation. This means you get a complete package to swap out your restrictive factory intercooler for something that can handle more boost and higher performance demands without excessive heat buildup.

When installing this kit, you'll find that it's designed to fit the MQB platform vehicles. While it's a larger unit, the mounting points are intended to align with the factory locations where possible, though some modifications or adjustments might be necessary depending on the specific vehicle model and any other modifications already present. It's a solid option for anyone looking to improve their car's performance and reliability under load, especially if they plan on increasing boost pressure or tuning the engine. Remember, this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
