Maximum cooling performance for your tuning setup
The CTS Turbo intercooler kit is the perfect solution for MQB vehicles with 1.8T & 2.0T engines. Thanks to the huge 25" x 2.25" x 16" bar & plate core, this intercooler drastically reduces intake air temperatures for consistent performance without losing power due to heat.
Why an upgrade is necessary
The OEM intercoolers are designed for standard performance and quickly reach their limits in performance-enhanced vehicles. This leads to power loss, boost cut and inefficient operation. The CTS intercooler keeps charge air temperatures consistently low and significantly reduces pressure loss, allowing your engine to run more efficiently and deliver more power.
