Product Details
Description
Undoubtedly, the 2022+ MK8 GTI or Golf R can benefit from the Unitronic Intercooler Upgrade. The bar and plate intercooler core features a unique staggered and louvered fin configuration to maximize efficiency. It significantly reduces charge air temperatures and allows for cooler, more dense air to be inducted by the engine, ultimately increasing engine performance.
When intake air temperatures reach a specific threshold, the engine control unit begins to compensate to account for the air temperature, decreasing performance. Unitronic's core measures 23.5” x 2” x 16.5" (597mm x 50mm x 419mm), a 60% increase in volume over stock, allowing for a greater volume of air to exchange heat, which, combined with a proper fin configuration, allows for maximum efficiency and reduction in heat-soak thresholds without producing a significant pressure drop.
Like all Unitronic Performance Hardware, this new Intercooler Upgrade includes all necessary hardware for each platform. It offers direct bolt-on fitment, which retains the factory mounting locations to simplify the installation process.

Great Product!
Installed on my MK7 with zero fitment issues. My P3 gauge reads between 5-10 above ambient temperature once installed. Very happy with the results so far.

Unitronic Intercooler
Great intercooler, no more heat soak. Install wasn't to bad if you've done so work on cars before. I wouldn't recommend installing yourself if you're not fairly good with this sort of stuff. I'd say it requires an intermediate level of skill not really for a novice. Took about 4-5 hrs. A professional could do it faster I imagine. Anyway the actual intercooler is great and moddedeuros.com is a good solid company to deal with. Good customer service fast shipping.

Fits pretty well, feels great, but directions SUCK!
Actually grabbed directions for installing the CTS Intercooler for my car (2016 A3).
Said was supposed to fit my car but the only install directions on this site or Unitronic site were for the VW GTI I believe.
Removing the bumper was an issue because of 2 screws that were not discussed in any directions ... until we found the install directions for the CTS Intercooler install for my particular model!!
Overall, happy but very disappointed in the complete solution provided by Unitronic!
4 stars for the fit (had to cut off some metal), 2 stars for the directions provided, 5 stars for the feel of the car after installed. -

Awesome intercooler
This was installed on a 16 golf r, everything fit perfect, very tight fit, zero modification needed, heavy brick but all quality not sure if the Apr or Wager would gave been worth the extra $$$, moddedeuro was the best site they gave free shipping and they ship it quick. Usually on these heavy items you dont get shipping @ other sites. I started the install by myself but putting the intercooler back was a pain without extra muscle. Dont forget to check all plugs before you start engine or you'll pull a CEL. Car feels really nice this was so worth it like a stage 1 tune was, the car just wanna go. Just get it if you'rethinking about it save money skipp the big brand names.
Thanks moddedeuro for free shipping.. -

Unitronic Intercooler Upgrade Kit for my '15 GTI SE
Doing a build on my '15 2-door 6-speed GTI SE. After doing a fair bit of research, I decided to go with Unitronics, as they offer basically what is a bumper to bumper solution. So I've got their intercooler, intake, turbo-back exhaust and stage 2 ECU upgrade. The intercooler install wasn't hard, just nitpicky. Would definitely consul having another person there; to get the bumper off/back on cleanly and for help getting the intercooler lined up as it's going in. Lining the a/c condenser up was a pain, the guides on the intercooler are part of casting and we noticed as the condenser was going back in the condenser guides were not opened up enough to allow the condenser to slide down. We had to very carefully pry these open with a screwdriver, the whole time worried they were going to break off. Other than that, it's basically all about taking the front end of your car apart and putting it back together. No real big deal. I haven't flashed the ECU yet as I'm waiting on a Stage 2 DKM clutch, but with my Neuspeed Power Module, Neuspeed Sport Shocks and 25mm rear sway bar, the car is so much fun to drive! Can't wait to do the flash after I get the new clutch in.

Great product
Quality piece and this install can be done by yourself. The pictured directions are horrid. Look for better directions online. I am admittedly a novice so I needed all the help I could get. I exclusively order from Modded Euros whenever possible. They ship the fastest and have the best customer service. Thanks again ME

A "must have" upgrade.
Fit and finish on this intercooler is amazing. Great manufacturing quality. Bring on the hot southern summer temps!

Excellent
First impressions out of the box, this intercooler is very well built and looks great.
Installation took a little over 2 hours start to finish, and it fits absolutely perfect. Zero modification needed on anything.
Haven’t driven the car enough at the time of writing this to comment on how it performs.
