MK8 Golf R Intercooler Design
Leading on from the huge success of our EA888 Gen 3 platform intercooler kit that has proven itself the go-to option on numerous big power builds for the last 7 years, when it came to developing our kit for the EA888 Gen 4 platform we knew exactly which way to go. With very similar size restrictions to its predecessor, we utilised our huge 16.4-litre capacity core from the EA888 Gen 3 platform and integrated it to better accommodate the air-con radiator.
This allowed an impressive 80% increase in overall capacity in comparison to the original intercooler, as well as an increase in frontal area to make the most of the air flow provided. Together with our cast end tanks to ensure optimum air flow both in and out of the intercooler, the moulded one-piece designs ensure flow is directed correctly and efficiently.
Available in a high-quality powder coated black finish, the comprehensive kit is a direct replacement and comes with new Pro Hoses silicone boost pipes. It also comes complete with all fixtures and fittings, as well as detailed fitting instructions.
Its proven cooling efficiency increase makes it an essential modification for all modified EA888 Gen 4 platform models.
