MISHIMOTO MMINT-MK7-15KWBK VW MK7 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler Kit, Wrinkle Black,

Description MISHIMOTO MMINT-MK7-15KWBK VW MK7 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler Kit, Wrinkle Black,

The 2015+ Golf TSI/GTI/R, now in its 7th generation, receives a significant upgrade with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit. The stock intercooler, positioned between the radiator and AC condenser, uses a tube-and-fin construction with plastic end tanks, which can struggle to maintain low intake air temperatures during intense driving or increased boost levels.

The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler replaces the factory unit with a larger, all-aluminum, TIG-welded bar-and-plate core, increasing overall volume by 89% and external fin surface area by 162%. Cast aluminum end tanks with integrated airflow diverters ensure optimal use of the full core. The kit also includes a Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit, featuring mandrel-bent aluminum piping and 5-layer silicone couplers, increasing air channel diameter to 2.75 inches and improving flow by 30%.

Combined, these upgrades deliver maximum gains of 14.5 whp and 13 wtq on stock tuning, and reduce intercooler outlet temperatures by 23°F compared to stock. The kit includes CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets, and piping is available in wrinkle black and polished finishes. The Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty is included.

Installation Notes: 27 in-lbs (3NM) recommended for all T-bolt and constant-tension T-bolt clamps. These clamps have an operating range of 18-35 in-lbs (2-4NM). Do not exceed the maximum torque rating of 35 in-lbs (4NM).

Note: This kit is compatible with the EA888 Gen3 engine and manual or 6-speed DSG transmissions only. Hot-side intercooler piping may not fit properly on vehicles equipped with 7-speed DSG transmissions.
