AIRTEC Twin-Spec Front Mount Intercooler Kit for VW Golf GTI Mk5/Mk6 2.0 TFSI TSI (Edition 30) - FMIC Upgrade, 70mm Core, Stage 1/2

Performance Charge Cooler for VW Golf GTI Mk5 and Mk6 2.0 Turbo Petrol

Unlock cooler intake temps and dependable power delivery with the AIRTEC Twin-Spec front mounted charge cooler kit. Engineered for the Golf GTI Mk5 2.0 turbo, Golf GTI Mk5 Edition 30 and Golf GTI Mk6 2.0 turbo petrol, this bolt-on upgrade is a proven way to control heat soak on fast road, daily and track day builds. If you are chasing stronger mid-range punch, repeatable performance after hard pulls and stability on tuned setups, this uprated cooler is the smart choice.

Proven temperature drop and repeatable performance

Independent dyno testing at Devil Developments showed the stock cooler reaching 49°C with 246.9 bhp on a Stage 1 mapped car. With this AIRTEC Twin-Spec unit installed on the same vehicle, intake temps dropped to as low as 17°C with a peak of 21°C, and power increased to 261 bhp. That is a massive reduction in charge temps that translates into consistent real-world performance and far less heat fade on spirited drives or circuit work. Results vary by car and hardware, but the cooling advantage is clear.
