With our buildyourown intercooler upgrade kit you get to?choose between our ECS Tuning silicone replacement boost hoses or go all out with our complete intercooler charge pipe kit to replace the powerrobbing, undersized tubes from the turbo, to?the throttle body, all to work perfectly with our ECS Tuning InHouse Engineered MQB Cast Aluminum Intercooler Upgrade!
?
INTERCOOLER FEATURES:
The ECS Tuning?MQB Cast Aluminum Intercooler Upgrade?boosts power and lowers intercooler outlet temps by maximizing core volume and more efficiently dispelling heat over the OEM sandwichmounted intercooler. Designed and engineered by our inhouse R&D Team to replace the underperforming stock intercooler, our intercooler is more efficient at cooling the turbocharged air?with less pressure drop than stock. The factory?tube and fin intercooler is not up to the task of shedding heat efficiently at higher power levels. If you plan to go above stock boost levels an intercooler upgrade is a must. With our ECS Tuning OELocation Intercooler Upgrade we recorded lower intercooler outlet temperatures, lower pressure drop?and an increase in cooling system efficiency.?
Our design features?high quality cast aluminum end tanks with?integral flow dividers on the intercooler inlet for even flow distribution across our massive 24.5? x 16.5? x 2.0? {808.5 in?} aluminum bar and plate?core,?which lends to an increase in volume of +39% over the OEM GTI intercooler,?for maximum heat dissipation. Our intercooler was inhouse engineered to provide a bolton cooling solution for the VW and Audi MQB Gen3 platform. Through our inhouse evaluation on our ECS Shop MK7 GTI, we measured a maximum?increase of +20?WHP @ 5,750 RPM and +18 WTQ @ 5,750 RPM along with an increase of +22% in cooling efficiency at redline and 90? F. lower intercooler outlet temperatures.?

PART DESIGN
3D CAD designed to allow the best placement and larger volume core over stock all while requiring no modifications to your vehicle?
Retains all OEM cooling air guides and mounting features. Compatible with?forward collision warning radar, if equipped.
Aluminum Straight Vane Bar and Plate Core:?24.5? x 16.5? x 2.0? (808.5 in??internal core volume)?
Raw Cast Aluminum End Tanks with smoothflowing internal inlet and outlet flowpaths?
Cast 60mm?barbed connections keep hoses secured and minimizes the risk of hoses blowing off and allows compatibility with OEM and ECS intercooler?hoses
Internal flow dividers on the intercooler inlet ensures an even flow distribution between the entire surface of the intercooler core?
End tanks are TIG welded to the intercooler core and the complete assembly is pressure tested to 3.5 BAR at 0% leak down to ensure sealing capacity
Cast mounting features are precision machined to ensure quality fitment?

SILICONE CHARGE PIPE COUPLERS:
The factory MQB Gen3?charge pipe couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels?much beyond stock. When combined with powerrobbing abrupt, sharp bends and inferior rubber material, it's easy to see why your squishy, OEM intercooler couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.?
At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our very own?Silicone Charge Pipe Coupler Kit! Each kit comes standard with silicone, 4ply reinforced couplers and heavy duty?Clampco stainless steel?TBolt hose clamps for an easy, direct fit replacement that won't blow off!?
Capable of withstanding greater heat and higher boost pressure than stock, you can expect to achieve greater reliability, less turbulence and less restriction.?

HIGH FLOW INTERCOOLER CHARGE PIPE KIT:
The factory MQB Gen3 plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers?were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels?much beyond stock. When combined with powerrobbing abrupt and?sharp bends,?inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing,?it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.?
