Description
Engineered for VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4 models — direct, no-cut fitment
The Trimpex Racing performance intercooler is developed in-house by the brand and is designed to fit VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 4th-generation engine vehicles with ease. No complicated modifications are required, delivering a true plug-and-play installation experience.
1) Clear performance gains vs. the OEM VW Golf GTI intercooler
-
Significantly larger core volume: 15,811 cm³ (OEM 9,056 cm³) — up to +75%, providing more cooling capacity and thermal headroom.
-
Expanded effective cooling surface area: 2,774 cm² (OEM 2,587 cm²) — +7%, improving heat-exchange efficiency.
-
High flow with low pressure drop: At a 0.15 bar (2.18 psi) pressure drop, airflow reaches 462 CFM (OEM 353 CFM) — +31%, supporting better intake efficiency.
-
Noticeably lower intake temperatures: Under the same conditions, post-intercooler intake air temperature is only 23°C (OEM 35°C) — 12°C lower, effectively reducing heat soak and power loss.
2) Heavy-duty build quality for reliable performance in extreme conditions
Designed around “more cooling + durability”, this intercooler is built for demanding use:
-
One-piece, all-aluminum construction: Made from pure aluminum with continuous welding for higher structural strength. Built to withstand prolonged high-temperature and high-pressure operation while minimizing the risk of leaks.
-
Optimized dimensions for OEM mounting location: Deeply optimized based on the factory mounting space for a direct bolt-on installation, with no cutting, drilling, or additional vehicle modification required.
-
Strict performance validation: As part of the DNI Racing performance line, every intercooler undergoes continuous, high-intensity testing—from cold environments to extreme high-temperature conditions—ensuring stable cooling efficiency and reliability with no compromises.
3) Not just for “modified cars”: a cooling upgrade even stock vehicles need
Many drivers assume an intercooler upgrade is only necessary after major engine modifications. This is a common misconception. Even on a completely stock vehicle:
-
In hot summer conditions (e.g., Sweden), during frequent hard acceleration, or in tropical climates during daily commuting, higher engine load can quickly raise intake temperatures. This may trigger ECU protection strategies and cause hidden power reduction.
-
In many real-world scenarios, the OEM intercooler’s cooling capacity is already insufficient to consistently control heat, resulting in actual power output below the factory-rated level.
The Trimpex Racing intercooler solves this at the source—whether you’re commuting or driving aggressively, it helps maintain stable intake temperatures so the engine can consistently deliver full performance.
4) Complete kit for worry-free installation
The package includes all necessary installation hardware—no extra purchases required:
-
Full set of dedicated bolts and gaskets
-
Detailed installation manual (clear steps; beginner-friendly)
