For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Intercooler System (IC100012) is a high-performance cooling upgrade for VW and Audi MK5/MK6 vehicles equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T EA113 or EA888 Gen 1 engines. The factory intercooler is often the primary bottleneck in the forced induction system, leading to rapid heat soak and power loss. APR’s solution features a core that is 40% larger than stock, providing a massive increase in thermal capacity to support power levels well beyond the factory unit's capabilities.
The system is engineered with a premium bar-and-plate core and smooth, cast aluminum end tanks that promote uniform airflow with minimal pressure drop. To ensure a reliable, leak-proof seal, the kit includes multi-ply silicone hoses with APR’s EZ-Flow stepped design and barbed connection points to prevent hose slippage under high boost. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, it requires no trimming of the vehicle’s factory components.
Features:
- Significant Cooling Gains: Massive 2.25" x 16.25" x 22" core dramatically lowers IATs and resists heat soak.
- 40% Larger Core: Increased volume provides consistent horsepower and torque, even during prolonged spirited driving.
- High-Flow Design: Features larger inlets and outlets than the factory unit for improved volumetric efficiency.
- Smooth Cast End Tanks: Organically shaped to reduce turbulence and promote maximum airflow across the core.
- EZ-Flow Silicone Hoses: Stepped internal design provides a smooth transition from hose to pipe for uninterrupted airflow.
- No Trimming Required: Precision-machined mounting points allow for a direct bolt-on installation into the factory location.
- Pressure Tested: Each unit is tested at the factory to ensure 100% leak-proof operation under high boost levels.
