Description
Overview:
The APR Intercooler System is a OEM-location upgrade that dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), minimizes heat soak, and provides increased performance! The system is a direct bolt-on upgrade that requires no trimming and is recommended at every stage of performance.
Features:
- Dramatically lowers intake air temp (IAT)
- Increases horsepower while minimizing power-robbing heat soak!
- Effectiveness tested to over 500 HP!
- 21 horsepower gain over the factory system!
- Massive core size
- Use of the OEM-location allows for a massive intercooler core.
- 24.25″ x 16.25″ x 1.25″ – 492.5 in³ – OEM GTI
- 24.25″ x 16.25″ x 1.37″ – 529.8 in³ – OEM Golf R
- 24.00″ x 16.25″ x 2.25″ – 877.5 in³ – APR
