Mishimoto misMMINT-MK7-15 2015+ VW MK7 Golf TSI / GTI / R Performance Intercooler

The mantra behind the grandfather of all hot-hatchbacks has long since been that big things come in small packages. The 2015+ Golf TSI/GTI/R's and its intercooling system are about to receive a much-needed overhaul with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit. The stock system can be best described as the meat in an intercooler sandwich. It's no wonder with it placed directly between the radiator and AC condenser that this tube-and-fin constructed intercooler has trouble keeping up. Where this lighter core coupled with plastic end tanks might be suited for mass production and tame street driving, it will struggle to keep your intake air temperatures down under more intense driving, especially after the boost is turned up. The Mishimoto 2015+ Volkswagen MK7/MK8 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler, armed with an arsenal of cooling technology, takes the place of the stock intercooler. Our engineers were able to squeeze in a larger core, increasing the overall volume by 89-percent over stock and bumping up the external fin surface area by 162-percent. On top of the larger core, our all-aluminum, TIG-welded intercooler features a more robust bar-and-plate construction for better heat dissipation characteristics. In addition, the cast aluminum end tanks are integrated with airflow diverters to ensure use of the full core. When combined, our innovations for the MK7 intercooling system yielded max power gains of 14 whp and 12 wtq on the stock tuning. In addition, our charged air cooler dropped intercooler outlet temperatures by 23 F over stock equipment. Our 2015+ Volkswagen MK7/MK8 Golf TSI/GTI/R Performance Intercooler also includes a pair of CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for a precise and worry-free installation. Complete intercooler kit engineered to reduce intake air temperatures for increased power and efficiency. Includes high-quality components for optimal airflow, improved throttle response, and a precise, easy installation.

• Max power gains of 14 whp and 12 wtq on stock tuning
• 162-percent increase in external fin surface area
• 89-percent increase in core volume

The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit is designed for 2015+ Volkswagen MK7/MK8 Golf TSI, GTI, and R models. It replaces the factory intercooler with a larger all-aluminum, TIG-welded bar-and-plate core engineered to improve heat dissipation and reduce intake air temperatures during demanding driving.

The intercooler increases core volume by 89 percent and external fin surface area by 162 percent over stock. Integrated airflow diverters in the cast aluminum end tanks help utilize the full core, while the included CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets support a precise installation. Testing on stock tuning produced maximum gains of 14 whp and 12 wtq, along with a 23°F reduction in intercooler outlet temperatures compared with stock equipment.
