{"product_id":"mk7-front-mount-intercooler","title":"MK7 Front Mount Intercooler","description":"The ARM MK7 GTI FMIC is a true front mount intercooler upgrade for performance-oriented vehicles. The core measures 22 x 9 x 3.25 inches, providing a total volume of 644 cubic inches, a 28% increase over the OEM 493 cubic inches. Its ultra-dense fin packs (20 fins per inch) and efficient positioning allow it to support up to 575hp.\n\nThis intercooler upgrade is crucial for MQB platform vehicles that have been tuned, as increased boost pressure leads to higher intake air temperatures. When temperatures rise too high, the ECU reduces timing to protect the engine, limiting power output. An upgraded intercooler helps maintain lower intake air temperatures, allowing the ECU to deliver optimal performance.\n\nThe ARM MK7 FMIC features a 100% bolt-on installation with no cutting or drilling required, making it one of the easier intercooler upgrades for the MK7 GTI. The kit includes the intercooler, piping, mounting brackets, and necessary hardware. However, it is important to note that this intercooler **does not fit vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) mounted in the lower bumper**, but it will fit if ACC is mounted into the VW emblem. Additionally, owners of the MK7 GLI will need to remove the lower crash bar for proper fitment.","brand":"ARM Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686964588856,"sku":"MK7FMIC","price":492.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687887697.webp?v=1784879024","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/mk7-front-mount-intercooler","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
