{"product_id":"intercooler-upgrade-kit-23-5-inch-bar-and-plate","title":"Intercooler Upgrade Kit, 23.5-Inch Bar and Plate","description":"The Unitronic Intercooler Upgrade Kit is a high-performance direct OEM replacement designed for vehicles featuring the 1.8\/2.0 TSI Gen3 MQB engines, with an additional fitment for the 8Y S3.\n\nEngineered for demanding driving scenarios, this kit features a substantial 23.5\" x 2\" x 16.5\" bar and plate intercooler core crafted from T5052 aluminum. It utilizes T6061 cast aluminum end tanks and a proprietary internal fin and louver configuration, all combined with a robust TIG welded construction. This design significantly reduces charge air temperatures, leading to cooler, denser air for the engine, and is substantially more resistant to heat-soak than the stock unit.\n\nWith over 60% more volume than the OEM intercooler, this upgrade is capable of supporting up to 600HP. The core's dimensions and unique fin arrangement maximize heat exchange efficiency without introducing a significant pressure drop. Unitronic's design philosophy prioritizes precision, using in-house 3D scanning and engineering software to ensure exact fitment tolerances and optimal performance.\n\nInstallation is a direct bolt-on process, typically achievable within a few hours with basic mechanical knowledge and tools. Recommended software includes Stage 1, Stage 1+, and Stage 2 tunes for optimal performance gains.","brand":"Unitronic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689519673656,"sku":"UH009-ICA","price":769.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687751448.jpg?v=1784907268","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/intercooler-upgrade-kit-23-5-inch-bar-and-plate","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
