Racingline High Performance Intercooler - VAG MQB Evo 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 Models
The factory intercooler on the 2.0 TSI MQB 'Evo' has proved to be unable to cope with the demands of higher power, hard driven cars, showing up as serious power losses during hard driving as air temperatures soar.

Our massive 'plate & bar' Intercooler System uses a huge 70mm core to give a 96% volume increase over the factory cooler - making it the largest volume and best performing intercooler upgrade on offer for the 2.0 TSI gen.4.
By consistently reducing intake air temperatures (IAT), heat soak is minimised delivering increased performance again and again. No need for the recovery cool-down times needed for the production intercooler.
Our development focussed on finding the ‘sweet spot’ of maximum IAT cooling versus minimum pressure loss. This has allowed us to achieve increased size without increased lag.
Increased 70mm inlet and outlet sizes allow for higher flow versus the 60mm factory outlets, with matching Boost Hoses provided with the intercooler kit.
Unlike most aftermarket intercoolers listed for the MQB 'Evo' platform, ours has been designed exclusively for the 2.0 TSI Gen.4 from the ground-up.
PRECISION ENGINEERED FOR PERFECT PERFORMANCE
-
Giant core volume of 19,404,000mm³ vs 9,895,200mm³ for the factory cooler core
-
Internal flow guides to optimise internal air flow via cast end-tanks
- Sophisticated 'Plate & Bar' construction outperforms the cheaper, less-effective 'Tube & Fin' construction
-
Multi-ply, reinforced Boost Hoses are moulded with internal steps to maximise laminar airflow
- Intercooler outlets are 70mm vs 60mm for the OE cooler for increased flow
