{"product_id":"do88-vag-2-0t-ea113-fsi-intercooler","title":"do88 VAG 2.0T EA113 FSI Intercooler","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA common misunderstanding is that an intercooler installed in this factory position cannot provide good performance, and that a front-mounted intercooler (FMIC) would be much better. But actually, do88's performance intercooler is far better than most FMIC installations, where only a core with a small frontal surface is possible to install, and often positioned poorly for airflow too. This is the best Audi\/SEAT\/Skoda\/VW 2.0T FSI performance intercooler on the market, developed to replace the original OEM intercooler and give true performance gains without needing to rebuild the whole car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe numbers: a \u003cstrong\u003e74% larger core volume\u003c\/strong\u003e than the OEM unit (13,342cm³ versus 7,676cm³), and \u003cstrong\u003e34% higher airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e at 0.15 bar\/2.18psi pressure drop (448 CFM versus 335 CFM). Under identical conditions, this translated to a documented \u003cstrong\u003e8°C lower post-intercooler air temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e (29°C versus 37°C stock). The OEM intercooler's plastic tanks don't keep up well with higher boost levels, so this all-aluminium, CAD-designed intercooler with flow-optimised cast end tanks also adds genuine reliability alongside the performance gain. Only after an engine software tune will this intercooler give a genuine performance increase over the OEM version, on a fully stock car it primarily improves reliability and thermal margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment exceptions worth knowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVW Golf Mk6:\u003c\/strong\u003e the OEM fresh air hose to the air filter box will not fit due to the increased intercooler thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi TT (Mk2):\u003c\/strong\u003e must have the OEM pressure pipe with part number 1K0145840R fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM mounting points.
