The APR Intercooler System is a OEM-location upgrade that dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), minimizes heat soak, and provides increased performance! The system is a direct bolt-on upgrade that requires no trimming and is recommended at every stage of performance.

• Dramatically lowers intake air temp (IAT)
• Increases horsepower while minimizing power-robbing heat soak!
• Effectiveness tested to over 500 HP!
• 21 horsepower gain over the factory system!
• Massive core size
• Use of the OEM-location allows for a massive intercooler core
• 24.25” x 16.25” x 1.25” – 492.5 in³ – OEM GTI
• 24.25” x 16.25” x 1.37” – 541.8 in³ – OEM Golf R
• 24.00” x 16.25” x 2.25” – 877.5 in³ – APR
• Intercooler installed in the best location for this platform
• Utilizes factory air dams for exceptional airflow across the core.
• 100% compatible with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system.
• Highly effective core design
• Bar-and-plate core with staggered and louvered fins.
• Rigorous testing determined core style, fin density, and size.
• Low pressure drop + highly effective cooling = high performance!
• Smooth cast end tanks
• Engineered for low turbulence/restriction and maximum flow.
• Organically shaped to promote airflow across entire core.
• Pressure tested to prevent power robbing boost leaks.
• No trimming, cutting, or other costly modification required.
• No modification to the Adaptive Cruise Control System required.
