AIRTEC Motorsport Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Upgrade Kit for SEAT Leon Cupra R (LCR) - 60mm Single Pass Core - Direct Fit, No Cutting, Retains Crash Bar & Fog Lights - Pro-Series Satin Black or Silver

Uprated Charge-Air Cooler for SEAT Leon Cupra R LCR

Transform the way your 1M Leon Cupra R pulls with this AIRTEC Motorsport front mounted charge cooler. Designed as a true bolt-on solution for the LCR, it replaces the factory twin coolers with a high efficiency 60 mm thick single pass core that delivers colder intake temps, stronger mid-range punch and repeatable performance on the road and at track days. Choose a stealth Pro-Series Satin Black finish or a clean Silver look to suit your build.

Real gains you can feel

• Outstanding intake temperature control. Independent dyno testing on a Stage 1 vehicle recorded a drop from 49°C outlet temperature with the factory system to 23°C with the AIRTEC unit, with similar inlet temps into the cores.
• Proven power improvement. The cooler charge delivered a notable mid-range increase of around 12 bhp on a remapped car, helping the LCR pull harder between gears.
• Consistent, heat-soak resistant performance for fast road driving and repeated pulls.

Why this is the right cooling upgrade for your LCR

• Direct bolt-on for the Leon Cupra R 1M 1.8T. No trimming to the bumper, keeps the OE crash bar and factory fog lamps.
• High efficiency single pass 60 mm core with flowed cast end tanks for excellent airflow and pressure recovery.
• Supplied with premium multi‑ply silicone boost hoses, alloy joiners and stainless Jubilee clips for a leak-free install.
• Includes powder coated bonnet catch support brackets and all required fixings with step-by-step instructions.
• Durable Pro-Series coating available in Satin Black or Silver to complement OEM or modified engine bays.
• Backed by AIRTEC’s 3 year unlimited mileage warranty.
• Typical installation time 2 to 3 hours depending on experience.

What you can expect

• Lower IATs for safer ignition timing on tuned cars including Stage 1 and Stage 2 setups.
• Improved throttle response and punchier acceleration in real-world driving.
• Reliable cooling headroom for spirited use and track sessions without heat fade.
