{"product_id":"1-8t-upgraded-side-mount-intercooler","title":"1.8T Upgraded Side Mount Intercooler","description":"The Carrot Top Tuning 1.8T Upgraded Side Mount Intercooler (SMIC) is engineered as a direct replacement for MK4 1.8T and ALH TDI models. This bar-and-plate style intercooler significantly enhances cooling performance by offering increased surface area and volume, all while maintaining minimal pressure drop.\n\nInstallation is streamlined thanks to the inclusion of multi-map sensor fittings, specifically designed for small sensors, which eliminate guesswork and ensure a trouble-free fitment on MK4 1.8T Golf\/Jetta and MK4 ALH TDI Golf\/Jetta vehicles. The intercooler boasts expanded dimensions of 5.125\" x 7\" x 8.25\", providing a substantial upgrade over the stock unit's 2.5\" x 7\" x 8\" size.\n\nCustomer feedback highlights noticeable power increases and improved intake air temperatures (IATs). One user reported their IATs dropping from 150-185F to around 130F under extreme driving conditions on a hot summer day, and quickly cooling to 95-100F on a 90F day after installing this intercooler, paired with a NEUSPEED pancake pipe. Another user noted it complements turbo upgrades by keeping IATs in check with added boost.","brand":"Carrot Top Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687336997176,"sku":"1.8T-SMIC-NO","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661175188.jpg?v=1784882872","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/1-8t-upgraded-side-mount-intercooler","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
