MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit

The CTS Turbo MK6 Gen3 2.0TSI Direct Fit FMIC Kit is designed as a direct replacement for your vehicle's stock front-mounted intercooler (FMIC). This "drop-in" design ensures installation without any necessary trimming or modifications to the bumper or crash supports, maintaining factory mounting points. The kit utilizes a high-efficiency bar and plate intercooler core, which significantly aids in reducing pressure drop. A lower pressure drop means your turbocharger doesn't have to work as hard to achieve desired boost levels. This leads to increased turbo life expectancy and cooler, denser air charge entering the engine, ultimately resulting in more power. Constructed with cast aluminum end tanks, this intercooler is rated for power levels exceeding 600HP. Its core dimensions are 23.00" Length x 2.00" Tall x 16.5" Height. The "direct fit" nature of this FMIC ensures it maintains the factory mounting points, simplifying installation. This intercooler is a direct upgrade for the OEM unit, which typically struggles to keep charged air temperatures in check once boost levels are increased via ECU upgrades or other modifications. Higher temperatures can lead to detrimental effects like boost cut and timing pull, reducing overall vehicle power output. This intercooler is specifically designed for the following Volkswagen models with the Gen3 engine: 2013.5-2017 Jetta 1.8T, 2013.5-2017 GLI 2.0T, 2012-2017 Beetle 1.8T/2.0T, and 2012-2019 Passat 1.8T/2.0T.
