When increasing the power output of your engine it is extremely important to ensure it has the proper cooling to match. It packs a very large intercooler core into the space available, a full 54% larger than the OEM core. This large core delivers cool air to the engine under all circumstances, increasing power and torque and simultaneously reducing heat soak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep your GTI and Golf R cool with the IE FDS Intercooler. The IE FDS intercooler has proven to distribute charge air uniformly across the inlet end of the core. In contrast to other intercoolers on the market which rely on natural airflow across the core, our FDS technology uses precisely shaped and placed fins cast into the intake plenum to fully take advantage of the large core volume effectively using the entire core. As a result, the IE FDS intercooler has been proven to reduce intake air temperatures more so than other units available, thus offering the largest power gains possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen you begin modifying your VW\/Audi 2.0T it will quickly become necessary to upgrade the intercooler. Once upgrades such as ECU tuning, exhaust systems, and turbo upgrades are introduced, intake air temperatures begin to rise, resulting in massive power loss. The IE front-mount intercooler system was designed to directly replace the factory unit while utilizing a much larger core and our proven FDS (Flow Distribution System) to effectively utilize that larger core. These features allow for much higher cooling efficiency than the factory system, thus reducing intake air temperatures and safely increasing horsepower output. The IE FDS intercooler is also a direct fit, requiring no cutting, modification, or time-wasting hassle during installation. Read below for more in-depth information on each intercooler feature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGo faster longer, retain power pull after pull. Heat soak occurs when the heat generated exceeds the cooling capacity of the intercooler. The most common symptom is the noticeable loss of power after long term acceleration or several back to back power pulls. By greatly increasing the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology, we have eliminated the heat soak, keeping the intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competition intercoolers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlong with lower intake air temperatures, the large core within the IE intercooler also decreases pressure drop when compared to the factory unit. Simply put, pressure drop is the amount of pressure that is lost as air travels through the intercooler. As boost pressure is raised, pressure drop typically begins to climb. By using a larger core that flows much more freely than the factory core, pressure drop is reduced, reducing the need for the turbocharger to work harder to produce the required boost levels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAUDI - 8P A3 \u0026amp; S3 EA113 FSI (TSI may require custom inlet hose)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAUDI - MK2 TT \u0026amp;TTS EA113 FSI (TSI requires custom inlet hose)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - MK5 GTI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW MK6 GTI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - MK6 Golf R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - MK5 Jetta\/GLI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - MK6 Jetta \u0026amp; GLI EA888 Gen1\/2 up to 2013\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - MK6 Jetta\/GLI 2013.5+ EA888 Gen 3 (requires IE Gen 3 hose kit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIETPCC12)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - CC (Requires custom inlet hose)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - Eos (Requires custom inlet hose)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - B6\/B7 Passat (Some years may require custom inlet hose)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eVW - Tiguan (Requires custom intercooler hoses)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46815134974256,"sku":"IETPCB1","price":1036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/7582\/4176\/files\/IETPCB1_-_On_White-1_1.webp?v=1763561313","url":"https:\/\/es-performance.com\/en-us\/products\/ie-fds-intercooler-kit-audi-a3-s3-8p-vw-golf-gti-r-mk6","provider":"Eurosport Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
