Product information "Intercooler MQB EA888 Gen 3 2.0T / 1.8T"

The APR intercooler system is a plug-and-play product that dramatically reduces the intake temperature, minimizes heat, and provides higher performance.

The system has been developed and tested for performances up to 500+ HP.

In 2006, APR pushed ahead with the plug and play system for intercoolers. Unfortunately for untrained eyes, many intercooler designs are the same. However, the effectiveness of the system and overall performance are strongly determined by several key criteria.

The alloy selection, end tank design, design, fin type, fin density, and many more points need to be analyzed and matched to be the master of their class.

While the factory-installed intercooler's goal is to create lightweight, easy-to-manufacture, and most cost-effective, production, the APR intercooler must be able to handle more than twice the engine performance of the series. Achieving this goal resulted in several approaches that focused on the core or grid selection of the intercooler.

Effectively
Effectiveness tested over 500 hp

More efficient
20 hp more power compared to the OEM system

Up to 78% more volume

OEM air ducts
Uses factory-supplied air ducts for airflow through the core of the system

Plug and Play system - no adaptation required, even for vehicles with ACC

Highly effective bar and plate design - with staggered fins for lower pressure drop despite increased cooling rate

Molded end tanks - organically shaped for minimal turbulence and maximum flow

Designed using the latest laser technology
