The Mishimoto performance intercooler for Volkswagen MK5 and MK6 GTI and Golf R replaces the stock tube-and-fin core with a bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks to improve durability and heat dissipation. The design increases core volume by 46% and external fin surface area by 97%, improves flow by about 9% and can drop intake charge temperatures roughly 20°F. Kits include 5-layer silicone couplers and a CNC adapter, and are backed by Mishimoto's lifetime warranty.
