DESCRIPTION
Upgrade charge-air cooling with the do88 Intercooler. ICM-180 fits Audi / Seat / Skoda / Volkswagen 2.0T FSI.
The best Audi, Seat, Skoda, and VW 2.0T FSI performance intercooler on the market!
This performance intercooler is developed by do88 to replace the original OEM intercooler and provides a true performance upgrade without the need to rebuild the whole car.
Significant advantages with do88 performance intercooler compared to OEM:
- Core volume: 13,342 cm³ (OEM 7,676 cm³); 74% larger
- Airflow at 0.15 bar / 2.18 psi pressure drop: 448 CFM (OEM 335 CFM); 34% higher
- Post-intercooler air temperature at identical conditions: 29°C (OEM 37°C); 8°C lower
- Direct bolt-on fit for all vehicles listed below (see installation instructions)
The do88 performance intercooler features an all-aluminum construction with CAD-designed, flow-optimized cast end tanks and an optimized core design to deliver maximum cooling efficiency with minimal pressure drop.
The OEM intercooler is designed for factory power levels. Increased boost pressure or aggressive driving may exceed its limits. After an engine software tune, the do88 performance intercooler delivers a clear performance improvement. The OEM intercooler uses plastic end tanks that may fail under higher boost; the do88 intercooler significantly improves reliability.
A common misconception is that an intercooler in this position cannot perform as well as a front-mounted intercooler (FMIC). In reality, the do88 intercooler outperforms many FMIC setups, which often use smaller cores and are partially blocked by the bumper beam, reducing cooling efficiency.
The do88 intercooler includes all required installation hardware.

Notes:
• VW Golf MK6 (2008–): OEM fresh air hose to the airbox does not fit due to increased intercooler thickness.
• Audi TT requires OEM pressure pipe part number 1K0145840R.
• VW Eos, Scirocco, and Jetta use a different intercooler outlet pipe (5C0145770); outlet hose extension required. Contact customer service for guidance.
