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.
Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno
The MK5/MK6 platform's factory core was sized for a much milder factory tune than most owners are running today. A larger tube and fin core trades nothing for more raw cooling surface, which matters more on a track day than it ever will on a spec sheet.
Fitment
Compatible with:
- VW Golf GTI MK5 (2006–2009) / MK6 (2010–2013) — 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen1/Gen2
- VW Golf R MK6 (2010–2013) — 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen2
- Audi S3 8P (2007–2012) — 2.0 TFSI EA888 Gen1/Gen2
- Audi A3 8P (2004–2013) — 2.0 TFSI EA888 Gen1/Gen2
- VW Jetta / GLI MK5 / MK6 (2006–2014) — 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen1/Gen2
Note: this intercooler fits the shared EA888 Gen1/Gen2 platform across Golf GTI/R MK5/MK6, A3/S3 8P and Jetta GLI — same engine bay, same fit. It does not fit MK7/MK8 Golf or Audi 8V/8Y platform vehicles, which use a later-generation engine and different fitment. Verify your specific model, year and drivetrain before ordering, or message us your rego/VIN and we'll confirm it for you.
