<p><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">The VWR Intercooler System is the best performing intercooler upgrade on offer for the MQB-platform Golf 7 GTI, R and Audi S3, with proven race championship performance to back that up. The factory intercooler has shown itself to be unable to cope with the demands of higher power, hard driven cars.</span><br style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><br style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">By consistently reducing intake air temperatures (IAT), heat soak is minimised delivering increased performance again and again without the recovery cool-down times needed for the production intercooler. <br></span><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><br>The giant 56mm core depth of the system uses careful optimised fin design, delivering the ‘sweet spot’ of maximum IAT cooling versus minimum pressure loss. This has allowed us to achieve increased size without increased lag.</span><br style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Unlike many on the market, every part of the VWR Intercooler System is designed, sourced and manufactured in the UK.</span><br style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><br style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">The VWR Intercooler System is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock intercooler. It really is essential for every stage of tuning on any high performance MQB-platform car, and is the perfect compliment to our OEM+ Performance Software programme.<br></span><br>High Efficiency<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Dramatically lower intake air temperatures (IAT) increases horsepower while minimizing the power-robbing heat soak from the standard 'cooler, time after time.<br></span><br>Maximum Core Size<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">The massive intercooler unit features a high-speed core using extra tall internal tubes for maximum boost flow.</span><br><br>Optimum Location<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Careful maximisation of the factory location allows exceptional airflow across the intercooler core without impacting airflow behind it.<br></span><br>Sophisticated Core Design<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Highly effective UK-made aluminium plate and bar construction, with fully welded cast end tanks following rigorous testing to optimise core dimensions, fin density, and pipe flow.<br></span><br>Smooth Cast End Tanks<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">UK cast construction for minimal turbulence and restriction delivering maximum flow across the entire core depth.<br></span><br>Simple Fitment<br><span style="line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;">Minimal modification required with no trimming, cutting, or any non-reversible modification required.<br></span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:

/// The factory intercooler is not capable of
consistently delivering repeated high power runs on an uprated car without
suffering significant power losses as heat soak drives up air intake
temperatures.<br><br>
/// Through the giant core dimensions of 694mm x 410mm x 56mm
(27” x 16.14” x 2.2”), the VWR Intercooler System is capable of supporting
power outputs of up to twice that of the standard car whilst still cooling air
charge temperatures efficiently.<br>
<br>
/// Low clog airside fin surface for minimum degradation in
performance and lower maintenance.<br>
<br>
/// Fitment in the factory location ensures that the
intercooler is fed with the best possible volume of high pressure, high
velocity airflow spread across the entire unit. Airflow to the factory water
cooling system is not disrupted.<o:p></o:p></p><p>
