CTS Turbo VW/AUDI MQB 1.8T/2.0T DIRECT FIT INTERCOOLER

Drop the intake air temps and let your MQB hold consistent power, pull after pull. This CTS Turbo direct-fit intercooler bolts straight into the factory location on 2015+ 1.8T and 2.0T cars, now finished in a clean black coat. Heatsoak from a stock or undersized core bleeds away horsepower and can trigger timing pull and pinging — this upgrade keeps the charge air cold and the power flat-out repeatable.

Why it works

• High-density bar-and-plate core with cast end tanks, capable of supporting 600whp
• Cast-in airflow directing fins inside the end tanks for even distribution across the core
• One of the largest cores on the market with complete direct fitment
• High-pass core lets outside air reach the radiator without restriction
• CAD engineered for performance and a perfect fit
• Fully compatible with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Frontal Collision Warning
