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.
