Mishimoto 2015+ VW MK7 Golf TSI / GTI / R Performance Intercooler

If you're pushing your 2015 or newer Volkswagen Golf TSI, GTI, or R beyond stock performance, you know how critical keeping intake air temperatures down is. The factory intercooler, tucked away behind the radiator and AC condenser, struggles to keep up, especially when you turn up the boost. This Mishimoto Performance Intercooler is designed to replace that stock unit with a much more capable system.

This intercooler features a significantly larger bar-and-plate core, increasing volume by 89-percent and external fin surface area by 162-percent over the original. The all-aluminum construction and TIG-welded end tanks are built for better heat dissipation, while integrated airflow diverters ensure the entire core is utilized effectively. On stock tuning, this setup has shown gains of up to 14 horsepower and 12 lb-ft of torque, along with a drop of 23°F in intercooler outlet temperatures. It's a solid upgrade for anyone looking to improve their hot-hatch's performance, fitting a range of VW and Audi models including the Golf GTI, Golf R, and Audi S3.

Installation is made straightforward with included CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets. Mishimoto backs this intercooler with their Lifetime Warranty, giving you confidence in your upgrade.
