For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Intercooler System (IC100018) is a high-performance cooling upgrade for the VW MK6 (Gen 3) 1.8T and 2.0T engines. Designed to replace the restrictive factory unit, this system dramatically lowers intake air temperatures (IAT) and provides superior resistance to heat soak. By combining a 40% larger core with optimized airflow dynamics, APR ensures your engine maintains peak horsepower and torque during spirited driving or back-to-back track laps.
Engineering excellence is found in the smooth cast-aluminum end tanks, which are designed to minimize turbulence and distribute air evenly across the massive bar-and-plate core. To ensure a perfect seal under high boost, the kit includes APR’s proprietary multi-ply silicone hoses featuring the EZ-Flow stepped design for a seamless internal transition. Installation is straightforward, as this system is a direct bolt-on upgrade that requires no trimming or permanent modification to the vehicle.
Features:
- 40% Larger Core Volume: Massive 2.25" x 16.25" x 22" core dimensions provide a substantial increase in cooling capacity over stock.
- Consistent Power: Dramatically reduces IATs to prevent the ECU from pulling timing, ensuring maximum performance is maintained for longer durations.
- High-Flow End Tanks: Organically shaped cast-aluminum tanks promote uniform airflow and reduce pressure drop compared to factory plastic units.
- EZ-Flow Silicone Hoses: Included multi-ply hoses feature stepped lips to eliminate air turbulence at connection points.
- Slip-Proof Connections: Features barbed hose connection points and heavy-duty clamps to prevent "intercooler pipe blow-off" under high pressure.
- Weight-Optimized: Machined mounting points reduce unnecessary mass without compromising structural integrity.
- Direct Bolt-On: Precision-engineered for an OEM fit with no cutting or drilling required.
