Mishimoto 2015+ VW MK7 Golf TSI / GTI / R Performance Intercooler Kit w/ Pipes (Polished)

When you open the box for the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit with Pipes, you'll find a large, bar-and-plate intercooler core with polished cast aluminum end tanks, along with a set of mandrel-bent aluminum intercooler pipes and 5-layer silicone couplers. This kit is designed to replace the stock intercooling system on your 2015 and up Volkswagen MK7 Golf TSI, GTI, or R, as well as compatible Audi models like the A3 and TT. The factory intercooler, tucked away behind the radiator and AC condenser, struggles to keep intake air temperatures down, especially when you turn up the boost. Mishimoto's design addresses this by significantly increasing the core's volume and external fin surface area.

The Mishimoto intercooler core is 89-percent larger in volume and has 162-percent more external fin surface area than the stock unit. Its bar-and-plate construction offers better heat dissipation than the factory's tube-and-fin design. The cast aluminum end tanks feature airflow diverters to ensure the entire core is used effectively. Complementing the intercooler are the included aluminum pipes, which increase the air channels to 2.75 inches, a 30-percent improvement in flow over stock. This combination can result in noticeable power gains, even on stock tuning, and a significant drop in intercooler outlet temperatures.

This kit is a substantial upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicle's cooling efficiency and performance. While it offers improved cooling, please note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding fitment and any additional components you might need for your particular vehicle.
