Give your Volkswagen MK7 Golf TSI, GTI and R (2015-2021) optimized cooling and a power boost with the Mishimoto High Performance Intercooler Kit . Designed to replace the inefficient stock intercooler , this kit significantly improves airflow, reduces intake temperatures and increases overall performance .
Why upgrade the stock intercooler?
The stock intercooler system is positioned between the radiator and the air conditioning condenser , which limits its efficiency under heavy load . Its tube-and-fin design with plastic ends is ideal for mass production, but struggles to maintain low temperatures during sporty driving or after a boost in turbo pressure.
The Mishimoto kit addresses these shortcomings with aluminum bar-and-plate construction , an 89% larger core , and 162% more external cooling surface area .
Features :
✅ Perfect Compatibility : Designed for Volkswagen MK7 Golf TSI, GTI and R (2015-2021) and Audi A3/S3 .
✅ Power gain : Up to +14.5 whp and +13 wtq on stock mapping.
✅ Better heat dissipation : Reduced intake temperature by 23°F , limiting power losses due to heat.
✅ Robust aluminum construction : TIG-welded with cast end-tanks , optimizing airflow through the intercooler core.
✅ Reinforced Hoses and Pipes Included : Replaces stock plastic pipes with 2.75" mandrel-bent aluminum piping and 5-layer silicone fittings , increasing airflow by 30% .
✅ Plug & play installation : Direct replacement without major modifications
