Untd. Performance Competition Intercooler Audi A3/S3 8V – VW Golf GTi/R Mk7/7.5 – 2.0L EA888 TSI

Description

When boost goes up, so does heat — and the stock intercooler just can’t keep up. Enter the Untd. Performance Competition Intercooler, designed specifically for the EA888 Gen 3 2.0T powering the Audi A3/S3 8V and VW Golf GTI/R Mk7/7.5. This upgrade delivers the cooling power needed for aggressive tuning, track days, and full-send street driving — keeping intake temps low, power consistent, and turbo lag minimal.

Key Features:

Massive High-Efficiency Core:
Featuring a significantly larger bar-and-plate core than stock, the Untd. Competition Intercooler provides substantial increases in cooling capacity and surface area. That means drastically reduced intake air temps, even under heavy load or repeated pulls.

Optimized for Tuned & High-Boost Setups:
Whether you’re running a Stage 1, Stage 2, or hybrid turbo build, this intercooler is built to handle it. Say goodbye to heat soak and hello to consistent, repeatable power delivery every time you floor it.

Low Pressure Drop, High Flow Design:
Engineered with performance in mind, the internal flow path is optimized to maintain boost pressure while minimizing restriction. That means better throttle response and faster spool — with no compromises.

TIG-Welded Aluminum Construction:
Constructed from high-grade aluminum and precision TIG-welded for strength and reliability. Built to handle high boost pressures, high temps, and the abuse of both street and track use.

OEM Fitment, Zero Compromise:
Direct bolt-on replacement using factory mounting points, charge pipe connections, and sensor locations. No cutting, no fabrication — just better performance in a clean, OEM+ package.

Stealth Look with Serious Performance:
Finished in a sleek black or raw aluminum (based on version), the Untd. Competition Intercooler looks at home behind the grille while quietly doing work under pressure.

Why Upgrade?

The factory intercooler on EA888-equipped cars is undersized and prone to heat soak — especially once tuning enters the equation. The Untd. Performance Competition Intercooler solves that with significantly increased cooling capacity, unlocking consistent power and performance when you need it most.

Compatibility:

• Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 / Mk7.5 (2.0T EA888 Gen 3)
