{"product_id":"mqb-1-8t-2-0t-high-density-bar-and-plate-intercooler","title":"MQB 1.8T\/2.0T High-Density Bar-and-Plate Intercooler","description":"The CTS Turbo Direct-Fit intercooler is engineered as a premium upgrade for MQB 1.8T\/2.0T vehicles manufactured from 2015 onwards, including facelifted models. It directly replaces the factory intercooler, addressing the performance limitations caused by heat soak from stock or inferior units, which can lead to power loss and potential engine pinging or timing pull. This intercooler features a high-density bar-and-plate core with cast end tanks and integrated airflow directing fins, designed to support up to 600 wheel horsepower and ensure even air distribution.\n\nThe design prioritizes high flow, resulting in minimal pressure drop and allowing sufficient airflow to the radiator for optimal engine cooling. Its core measures 25″x2.25″x16″, offering 900 cubic inches (14.75L) of volume, significantly larger than stock units like the Golf R's 542 cubic inches or the GTI's 493 cubic inches. This larger volume and efficient design help maintain consistent power output by keeping charged air temperatures low.\n\nThis intercooler is fully compatible with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Frontal Collision Warning systems. However, a note specifies that some 2019 and newer models may require the Front Collision Warning system to be adapted by VW after installation. The product is explicitly not for Gen3 Jetta, Passat, or Beetle vehicles that are non-MQB.","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687547007288,"sku":"CTS-MQB-DF","price":679.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664190264.webp?v=1784885022","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/mqb-1-8t-2-0t-high-density-bar-and-plate-intercooler","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
