High-performance intercooler for the VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4 developed by do88! This is an in-house designed intercooler developed by do88 for easy installation in the car. Benefits of the do88 high-performance intercooler (VW Golf GTI original intercooler): - Larger core volume: 15811 cm3 (9056 cm3), 75% larger! - Larger active cooling area, 2774 cm2 vs 2587 cm2, 7% larger. - Airflow at 0.15 bar pressure drop: 462 CFM (353 CFM), 31% higher! - Peak power increase of +12 hp and peak torque increase of +14 Nm! Measured on a 2021 VW Golf GTI Clubsport Edition 45 with standard software. - Lower temperature after the intercooler under the same test conditions: 23°C (35°C), 12°C lower! - Easy, trouble-free installation with clear fitting instructions. (See the fitting instructions for details). This intercooler is designed for the best cooling capacity under demanding conditions. Made entirely from aluminium with fully seam-welded joints, it guarantees durability and endurance when it really matters. The enlarged core volume improves cooling capacity and lowers the engine inlet temperature. As this is a do88 performance product, we have of course carried out thorough testing during the development phase to reach the best performance. No compromises have been made. This cooler is optimised for the available space as far as is possible, for installation in the original location. A full 75% greater core volume is a difference we are proud to have achieved. It is something that can genuinely be felt. The engine pulls considerably better across the whole rev range and withstands repeated hard pulls without building heat. The notion that the intercooler is something that does not need replacing until a high level of tuning is reached is untrue, yet it remains widely and wrongly held. On warm Swedish summer days, during repeated pulls, spirited driving or simply in a warmer climate, it takes little effort for the engine to start generating dangerously high intake temperatures, even on a completely untuned car. The standard intercooler's cooling capacity is in many cases clearly inadequate, and the engine and its power suffer for it. The heat has to go, otherwise the promised power will drop drastically as soon as the throttle is opened. This intercooler guarantees that the car's performance is there, always. This product comes with everything needed for easy installation. Bolts, washers, mounting brackets and fitting instructions are of course included. Take care of the engine, choose do88!
