Uprated charge air cooling and boost pipework for EA888 Gen 3 MQB

Chasing cooler intake temps, sharper spool and rock-solid consistency on your MQB 2.0 TSI? This AIRTEC Motorsport uprated charge cooler and pressure pipe bundle is a proven, direct-fit solution that transforms repeatability on spirited road use, track days and hot-weather driving.

Developed with extensive dyno validation and hard miles at events such as Time Attack and the Nurburgring, it delivers rapid recovery from heat soak, stronger mid-range punch and dependable performance for tuned cars. If you are remapped or running a hybrid turbo, this is the cooling and flow upgrade your build needs.

Key advantages

• High-efficiency 60 mm core with high-flow cast end tanks for a substantial increase in cooling capacity and internal volume over the factory unit
• Big drop in IATs vs stock on back-to-back pulls for reliable power delivery run after run
• Optimised pipework to remove restrictive OE charge pipes for improved throttle response
• 63 mm hot-side hard pipe to help maintain gas speed and reduce lag on higher power setups
• 70 mm cold-side hard pipe to maximise airflow to the throttle body
• Direct bolt-on behind the standard bumper using OE mounting points, no cutting required
• Supplied with Pro Hoses silicone couplers and all fittings for a tidy, factory-like install

Real-world performance you can trust

Repeated dyno sessions against the OE cooler show a clear reduction in charge temperatures with the AIRTEC unit, keeping IATs closer to ambient and maintaining power where the stock cooler quickly heat soaks. Ideal for Stage 1, Stage 2 and higher-output MQB builds targeting 400 bhp and beyond, with consistent results on both manual and DSG cars.

• AIRTEC Motorsport front-mounted charge air cooler with 60 mm core and cast end tanks
• AIRTEC Motorsport Big Boost Pipe Kit with smooth, larger diameter mandrel-bent aluminium pipework
