VW Jetta Passat Golf MK8 GTI/R/Clubsport 65mm Performance Intercooler

Description

Trimpex Performance Intercooler
Engineered for VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen4 — direct, no-cut fitment

Developed in-house by Trimpex, this performance intercooler is designed to fit VAG 2.0 TSI EA888 4th-generation engine models with ease. No complicated modifications are required, delivering a true plug-and-play experience.

1) Proven performance gains vs. the OEM VW Golf GTI intercooler

• Significantly larger core volume: 15,811 cm³ (OEM 9,056 cm³) — +75%, providing greater cooling reserves.
• Increased 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.
• Upgraded power output: Tested on a 2021 VW Golf GTI Clubsport Edition 45 (stock ECU calibration), peak power increased by +12 hp and peak torque by +14 Nm.
• Lower intake air temperatures: Under the same conditions, post-intercooler intake temperature is only 23°C (OEM 35°C) — 12°C lower, effectively reducing heat soak and power fade.

2) Heavy-duty engineering for reliable performance in extreme conditions

Designed around “more cooling + durability” for demanding use:

• One-piece all-aluminum construction: Pure aluminum with continuous welding for higher strength and reduced leak risk under prolonged high heat and boost pressure.
• Optimized for OEM mounting location: True direct bolt-on fitment—no cutting, drilling, or additional modifications required.
• Strict validation: Continuous, high-intensity performance testing from low-temperature environments to extreme heat, ensuring stable cooling efficiency and reliability with no compromises.

3) Not just for modified cars — stock vehicles benefit too

Many drivers assume intercooler upgrades are only needed after major tuning. In reality, even stock vehicles can suffer:

• In hot summer conditions, frequent hard acceleration, or tropical daily commuting, intake temperatures can spike, triggering ECU protection strategies and causing hidden power loss.
• OEM intercoolers can struggle to control heat consistently, reducing real-world output below factory-rated performance.

Trimpex intercoolers stabilize intake temperatures—whether commuting or driving aggressively—so the engine can consistently deliver full performance.

4) Complete kit for worry-free installation

The package includes everything required—no extra purchases needed:

• Full set of dedicated bolts and gaskets
• Detailed installation manual (clear steps; beginner-friendly)
