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

The mantra behind the grandfather of all hot-hatchbacks has long since been that big things come in small packages. Now on its 7th generation, the 2015+ Golf TSI/GTI/R's and its intercooling system are about to receive a much-needed overhaul with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit. The stock system can be best described as the meat in an intercooler sandwich. It's no wonder with it placed directly between the radiator and AC condenser that this tube-and-fin constructed intercooler has trouble keeping up. Where this lighter core coupled with plastic end tanks might be suited for mass production and tame street driving, it will struggle to keep your intake air temperatures down under more intense driving, especially after the boost is turned up. The Mishimoto 2015+ Volkswagen MK7 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler, armed with an arsenal of cooling technology, takes the place of the stock intercooler. Our engineers were able to squeeze in a larger core, increasing the overall volume by 89% over stock and bumping up the external fin surface area by 162%. On top of the larger core, our all-aluminum, TIG-welded intercooler features a more robust bar-and-plate construction for better heat dissipation characteristics. In addition, the cast aluminum end tanks are integrated with airflow diverters to ensure use of the full core. In addition to the more robust intercooler, our Performance Intercooler Kit for your 2015+ Golf or Audi A3/S3 includes our Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit. We ditched the stock plastic piping and rubber couplers for mandrel-bent aluminum piping and 5-layer silicone couplers. Our piping increases the air channels to and from the intercooler to 2.75 inches, resulting in a 30% increase in flow.When combined, our innovations for the MK7 intercooling system yielded max power gains of 14.5 whp and 13 wtq on the stock tuning. In addition, our charged air cooler dropped intercooler outlet temperatures by 23 F Volkswagen MK7 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler Kit, Black Pipes 2015+ Fitment: Audi A3 Premium 2015 to 2020 Audi A3 Premium Plus 2015 to 2020 Audi A3 Prestige 2015 to 2019 Audi A3 TDI Premium 2015 to 2016 Audi A3 TDI Premium Plus 2015 to 2016 Audi A3 TDI Prestige 2015 to 2016 Audi A3 Titanium 2019 Audi A3 Quattro Premium 2015 to 2019 Audi A3 Quattro Premium Plus 2015 to 2019 Audi A3 Quattro Prestige 2015 to 2019 Audi S3 Premium 2020 Audi S3 Premium Plus 2015 to 2020 Audi S3 Prestige 2015 to 2019 Audi TT Quattro Base 2015 to 2021 Audi TT RS Quattro Base 2018 to 2021 Audi TTS Quattro Base 2015 to 2021 Volkswagen Golf Base 2016 Volkswagen Golf Launch Edition 2015 Volkswagen Golf S 2015 to 2018 Volkswagen Golf SE 2015 to 2016 Volkswagen Golf SE 2018 Volkswagen Golf SEL 2015 to 2016 Volkswagen Golf TDI S 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI SE 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI SEL 2015 Volkswagen Golf TSi 2020 to 2021 Volkswagen Golf Wolfsburg Edition 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack S 2017 to 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SE 2017 to 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SEL 2017 to 2019 Volkswagen Golf R Base 2015 to 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen S 2015 to 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen SE 2015 to 2018 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen SEL 2015 to 2018 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2015 to 2020 Volkswagen GTI S 2015 to 2021 Volkswagen GTI SE 2015 to 2020
