Product Overview
This bar and plate intercooler kit is designed for the VW Golf Mk7 GTI and Golf R, along with the Audi A3 and S3 8V, powered by the EA888 1.8T or 2.0T engine. A larger front-mount intercooler helps reduce charge air temperatures, which becomes increasingly important on tuned engines running more boost. The black aluminium core is matched with 70 mm piping for a clean, purposeful look behind the bumper.

Vehicle Compatibility
The supplier states this kit fits the Golf 7 Mk7 1.8T and 2.0T TSI EA888, and the listing also names the Golf R, GTI, A3 and S3 8V, plus the Audi Q2 40 TFSI. Year ranges given in the supplier data are inconsistent. This fitment is supplier-stated and has not been independently verified, so please confirm your model, engine and year before ordering.

Installation and Usage
Installing a front-mount intercooler typically requires removing the front bumper and the factory intercooler, then fitting the new core and connecting the charge pipes with secure, boost-tight couplers. Some trimming may be necessary depending on the model. We recommend professional installation by a VW and Audi performance specialist, followed by a boost leak test.
