DESCRIPTION
Upgrade charge-air cooling with the do88 Intercooler. ICM-300-R fits Audi/Seat/Skoda/Volkswagen 1.8T/2.0T (MQB).
This is a self-developed performance intercooler from do88, designed for an easy drop-in installation on Audi, SEAT, Skoda, and VW 1.8 TSI / 2.0 TSI (MQB) models.
Significant advantages of the do88 performance intercooler compared to the VW Golf GTI OEM intercooler:
- Greater core volume: 15,347 cm³ (OEM 7,719 cm³); 99% larger
- Larger active cooling area: 2,692 cm² vs 2,573 cm²; 5% larger
- Airflow at 0.15 bar / 2.18 psi pressure drop: 455 CFM (OEM 310 CFM); 47% higher
- Lower post-intercooler air temperature under identical conditions: 24°C (OEM 36°C); 12°C lower
- Fits all vehicles listed below
This intercooler is engineered to deliver maximum cooling efficiency under demanding conditions. Manufactured entirely from aluminum with continuous welds, it ensures reliability and durability when pushed to the limit. The increased core volume improves cooling efficiency and reduces intake air temperatures.
As with all do88 performance products, this intercooler has undergone extensive and rigorous testing during development. No compromises have been made. It is fully optimized for the available space, ensuring true drop-in fitment.
The 99% increase in core volume is a significant and noticeable improvement. The engine pulls stronger across the rev range and withstands repeated full-throttle runs without heat buildup. Even on stock, non-tuned cars, repeated acceleration or hot ambient conditions can quickly raise inlet air temperatures and reduce usable power. OEM intercoolers often cannot maintain consistent performance under these conditions. With the do88 intercooler, engine power remains consistent at all times.
This intercooler comes with all components required for straightforward installation, without cutting or modifying the car’s original structure. Bolts, washers, and detailed mounting instructions are included.
Take care of your engine. Choose do88.
