RacingLine High Performance Intercooler for MK8/8Y MQB EVO Models | VWR141000

Take your MK8 Golf R, 8Y S3, and MQB EVO platform to the next level with the largest-volume intercooler upgrade available for the 2.0 TSI Gen.4 engine. Designed exclusively for the MQB EVO platform, this plate & bar intercooler delivers superior cooling efficiency, minimizes heat soak, and ensures consistent performance even under the most demanding conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• 96% Increase in Core Volume – A massive 70mm core (vs. 60mm stock) delivers unparalleled cooling performance.
• Reduced Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) – Prevents power loss from heat soak, ensuring sustained high performance without cooldown times.
• Optimized Boost Flow – Internal flow guides in the cast end tanks minimize turbulence and improve charge air distribution.
• Larger 70mm Inlet & Outlet – Upgraded 70mm boost hoses improve airflow and reduce pressure loss compared to the factory 60mm design.
• OEM Fitment Boost Hoses – Multi-ply reinforced internally-wired silicone hoses resist heat deformation and maintain structural integrity under high boost pressures.
• Precision Engineering – Constructed using high-efficiency ‘plate & bar’ technology, outperforming lower-cost ‘tube & fin’ designs.

Why Upgrade Your Intercooler?

The factory intercooler on the 2.0 TSI MQB EVO struggles with excessive heat buildup, especially in tuned or hard-driven vehicles. As intake air temperatures (IATs) climb, performance drops dramatically due to heat soak.

With the RacingLine Intercooler’s massive 70mm core, your car will maintain optimal intake temperatures, meaning power delivery stays consistent run after run unlike the stock cooler, which requires extended cooldown periods.

Perfect Fitment & Installation

• Direct Fit for MQB EVO Models – Some minor trimming of the black plastic radiator carrier may be required, varying by model.
• Compatible with VW Part No. 5H0 805 588 J radiator carrier for seamless installation.
• Fits popular MQB EVO models like VW MK8 Golf R, Audi 8Y S3, and more.
