VCTR Performance Audi A3 8P / VW Golf MK5/MK6 Intercooler Upgrade

Overview

The EA113 and EA888 Gen2 factory intercooler is a significant heat soak point, especially on tuned MK5/MK6 GTI and A3 8P applications. This tube and fin intercooler provides a larger core for improved cooling capacity — keeping intake temperatures in check during harder use.

Why Upgrade?

• Greater cooling surface area than the factory intercooler
• Improved heat soak resistance on tuned EA113/EA888 Gen2 applications
• More consistent power delivery on back-to-back runs
• Direct OEM replacement installation

Engineering Focus

Tube and fin core construction at 610×406×57mm — a meaningful step up from the factory intercooler in both volume and surface area. Designed for direct OEM replacement fitment on MK5, MK6, and 8P applications.
