Description
Upgrade your 8V RS3/TTRS 2.5T EVO and 8Y RS3 with the CTS Turbo Direct Fit FMIC, now available in a sleek BLACK finish. The OEM intercooler often falls short, especially under higher boost levels. Our intercooler upgrade provides significant improvements in performance, especially for tuned vehicles.
Our direct-fit intercooler core is 42% larger than the stock unit and has undergone extensive quality control and pressure testing (up to 50 psi). The cast aluminum end tanks attach seamlessly to factory hoses, ensuring a boost-leak-free fit that increases horsepower and torque.
