Key Features & Benefits:
- 74% larger core volume than OEM (13,342 cm³ vs. 7,676 cm³).
- 34% higher airflow (448 CFM vs. 335 CFM at 0.15 bar / 2.18 psi).
- 8°C lower post-intercooler air temperature (29°C vs. 37°C under the same conditions).
- All-aluminum construction for durability and increased boost handling.
- CAD-designed, flow-optimized cast end tanks for efficient airflow.
- Optimized core design for maximum cooling efficiency and minimal pressure drop.
- Direct replacement for OEM intercooler with all necessary hardware included.
Why Upgrade?
The OEM intercooler is designed for stock power levels and can become a performance bottleneck, especially after engine tuning. The do88 Performance Intercooler provides a significant cooling and airflow advantage, ensuring lower intake temperatures, reduced heat soak, and increased reliability, especially under high-boost conditions.
Unlike many front-mount intercoolers (FMICs), which often suffer from limited airflow and inefficient mounting locations, this direct-fit intercooler retains optimal placement while significantly outperforming stock cooling capacity.
Important Fitment Notes:
- VW Golf MK6 (2008+) – OEM fresh air hose to the air filter box will not fit due to increased intercooler thickness.
- Audi TT models – Must have OEM pressure pipe part number 1K0145840R.
- VW EOS, Scirocco, and Jetta – OEM intercooler pipe part number 5C0145770, requiring an extended outlet hose.
This do88 Performance Intercooler is the best bolt-on cooling upgrade for Audi, Seat, Skoda, and VW 2.0T FSI models, ensuring superior performance, reliability, and efficiency in all driving conditions.
