AIRTEC Motorsport Intercooler Upgrade for 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 Engine – 2020 Onwards

AIRTEC Motorsport Uprated Front Mount Intercooler Kit

Developed at AIRTEC HQ in the UK, we’re proud to introduce our high-performance front mount intercooler kit designed for EA888 Gen 4 platform owners seeking superior cooling efficiency, power, and performance for both track and fast road use.

The kit features a high-quality powder coated black finish and includes new Pro Hoses silicone boost pipes. It is a direct replacement for the original intercooler and comes with all necessary fixtures, fittings, and detailed fitting instructions.

The Design
Building on the success of our EA888 Gen 3 platform intercooler kit, which has been the go-to choice for big power builds over the past 7 years, we utilized our 16.4-litre capacity core from the Gen 3 platform and integrated it to better accommodate the air-con radiator. This resulted in an impressive 80% increase in overall capacity compared to the original intercooler, along with an increased frontal area to optimize airflow. The one-piece cast end tanks ensure efficient airflow in and out of the intercooler.

Benefits:
– Proven cooling efficiency increase
– Direct replacement for modified EA888 Gen 4 platform models
– High-quality powder coated black finish
– Includes new Pro Hoses silicone boost pipes
– Complete with fixtures, fittings, and detailed fitting instructions
