CTS Turbo MK7.5 MQB VW GTI/GOLF R FMIC

Unlock the full potential of your MK7.5 VW GTI, or MK7.5 VW Golf R with the CTS Turbo Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC). This high-performance intercooler is engineered to deliver optimal cooling, minimizing heat soak and maintaining consistent power levels during spirited driving or track use. Unlike factory intercoolers, which can suffer from high intake temperatures and power loss, our FMIC keeps your intake charge cool, resulting in improved reliability and sustained performance. Constructed with cast aluminum end tanks, this intercooler is designed to handle extreme pressures and temperatures, offering unmatched durability compared to plastic alternatives. The high-density core works in tandem with these robust end tanks to ensure efficient airflow and cooling, enabling quicker throttle response and more reliable power delivery. Installation is straightforward, with no need for extensive modifications, making it an ideal upgrade for both casual drivers and enthusiasts alike.

• High Density bar and plate
