AIRTEC MOTORSPORT INTERCOOLER + BOOST PIPE – VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 GEN 3

AIRTEC Motorsport presents front-mount intercooler upgrade for the VAG MQB EA888.3 platform.

This free-flow intercooler is a direct replacement for the smaller, more restrictive OEM setup.

Suitable for the following vehicles:

• Volkswagen Golf Mk7/7.5 R – 2.0 TSI
• Volkswagen Golf Mk7/7.5 GTI incl. Clubsport and Clubsport S – STI 2.0
• Seat Leon Cupra 265/280/300 – 2.0 TSI
• Seat Leon – STI 1.9/2.0
• Audi S3 8V (Hatchback and Sedan variants) – 2.0 TSI
• Audi TTS 8S – 2.0 STI
• Audi TT 8S – 1.8/2.0 STI
• Audi A3 8V – 1.8/2.0 STI
• Skoda Octavia vRS – 2.0 STI

Featuring a 63mm core design along with high-flow cast end tanks, the AIRTEC intercooler offers much greater surface area, efficiency and volume than standard and fits perfectly with the original bumper. It does not require finishing or cutting.

As with all AIRTEC products, the intercooler has been tested back-to-back on the dyno against the OEM item. This showed a huge reduction in air charge temperatures compared to standard.

The test car was equipped with a Cobra cat-back exhaust system and running Revo Stage 1 software.

The stock intercooler temperatures drop to an average of 64 degrees and peak at 68 degrees (after 5 consecutive runs). On Stage 1 Revo software, the car struggled to produce a peak power increase of 40 hp, due to the restrictive and inefficient VW OEM intercooler that was unable to effectively cool intake temperatures.

With the AIRTEC intercooler fitted, the IAT saw a whopping 120 degrees drop, keeping temperatures much closer to ambient and proving to be more reliable race after race. This gave a huge increase in performance, shown by the dyno test results below.

All research, design and development was carried out at AIRTEC""s UK headquarters by the team of manufacturers and engineers.
