Mishimoto 2015+ VW MK7 Golf TSI / GTI / R Performance Intercooler Kit with Pipes

The mantra behind the grandfather of all hot-hatchbacks has long since been that big things come in small packages. The 2015 - 2021 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 - 2021 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-percent over stock and bumping up the external fin surface area by 162-percent. 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 - 2021 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-percent 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 Complete intercooler kit engineered to reduce intake air temperatures for increased power and efficiency. Includes high-quality components for optimal airflow, improved throttle response, and a precise, easy installation.

• Max power gains of 14.5 whp and 13 wtq on stock tuning
• 162-percent increase in external fin surface area
• 89-percent increase in core volume

Upgrade your 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf MK7 TSI, GTI, or R models with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit, designed to significantly improve cooling efficiency and boost power output. This complete kit replaces the stock intercooler, which is often hindered by its placement between the radiator and AC condenser, leading to suboptimal heat dissipation during aggressive driving. By integrating a larger, all-aluminum, TIG-welded core with a 89-percent volume increase and a 162-percent increase in external fin surface area, the Mishimoto intercooler effectively reduces intake air temperatures, enhancing overall engine performance.

The kit features cast aluminum end tanks with airflow diverters, maximizing the use of the full core for superior heat exchange. The included intercooler piping is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum, replacing the factory plastic pipes, and fitted with 5-layer silicone couplers for durability and a tight seal. The increased airflow channels measure 2.75 inches, offering a 30-percent boost in flow rate, which translates to improved throttle response and power gains. When tested, this system delivers up to 14.5 wheel horsepower and 13 ft-lb of torque on stock tuning, with a notable 23°F reduction in intercooler outlet temperatures.

Designed for a straightforward installation, this kit is compatible with 2015-2021 VW Golf, Audi A3, S3, and R models. It includes high-quality components engineered to optimize airflow, enhance heat dissipation, and support increased boost levels. Whether you're looking to improve daily driving responsiveness or push your vehicle's performance limits, the Mishimoto intercooler kit provides reliable cooling solutions that help your turbocharged engine run cooler and more efficiently without the need for additional modifications.
