CTS TURBO 8V/8Y RS3/8S TTRS 2.5T EVO Direct Fit Intercooler

CTS Turbo is proud to announce our Direct fit FMIC for the 8V RS3/TTRS 2.5T EVO and the 8Y RS3 with updated BLACK finish. The OEM intercooler delivers underwhelming performance, this platform benefits greatly from an intercooler upgrade. Vehicles at stock boost levels, and especially on tuned cars will all see a large improvement over the factory equipped hardware. This direct-fit intercooler core is 42% larger than stock and meets our extensive quality control and pressure testing (up to 50psi). Cast aluminum end tanks attach to factory hoses seamlessly to ensure a boost-leak free fit that results in increased horsepower and torque.
