The Alpha Competition intercooler kit is engineered as a direct fit replacement for the stock intercooler on Volkswagen Group MQB platforms utilizing the 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI EA888.3 engine. It is compatible with a range of performance vehicles including the Golf 7 GTI, Golf 7 R, Leon 3 Cupra, Audi S3 8V, and Audi TT 8S. This kit boasts a substantial large core design, offering a volume that is 101% larger than the OEM intercooler. It comes complete with reinforced black silicone hoses and all necessary installation hardware, finished with a black look and a white logo. Installation is designed to be direct fitting, though minor trimming may be required on the OEM plastic surround, with the exception of Golf 7 models. The intercooler measures 650 x 420 x 65mm.
