APR IC100009 Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) for VW MkIV Golf 1.8T

Achtuning is pleased to present APR's front mounted intercooler for the VW Golf and Jetta 1.8T. The construction and advanced design techniques used in the APR intercooler sets theirs apart from all the others on the market. Utilizing such technologies as a top-bottom feed core, custom mandrel bent plumbing, and innovative cast endtanks with internal vaning, APR's intercooler has produced excellent results in testing.

The conditions of one test that was performed is as follows: at 20 psi of pressure with a vehicle speed of 70 mph, and an elevation of approximately 500 feet above sea level. Under these conditions the internal flow was measured at 720cfm. Also at those conditions, with an input temp of 240º F, the intercooler was quite effective; cooling the output air to 126º F. While doing this, the intercooler measured an internal pressure drop of only .58 psi.

Equally as impressive with the APR intercooler was the external pressure drop (the amount of air pressure behind the intercooler) of only 1.01 psi. This helps to allow airflow to other critical parts of the car such as the radiator and A/C condenser. While the internal pressure drop is important, the external pressure drop is often overlooked. Most other intercoolers commonly cause 1.5 to 2.0 pounds of pressure drop, hindering the radiator from effectively doing its job of cooling the engine.

The highlights of the APR Intercooler kit include the following:

• APR Cast End Tanks with Internal Vaning
• Top-Bottom Feed Extruded Aluminum Core
• Mandrel-Bent, Powdercoated Stainless Steel Plumbing
• APR Custom Silicone Intake Hoses
• All Associated Brackets and Hardware

Note:
The APR front mount intercooler includes a modified bumper core support. There will be a $200 refundable core charge on your OEM bumper support. Once APR confirms delivery of your core we will refund the $200 back to you.
