APR IC100029 Intercooler System - for MQB 2.0T 8-Speed Tiguan Arteon Q3

The APR IC100029 Intercooler System delivers a substantial performance upgrade for MQB platform vehicles equipped with the 2.0T turbocharged engine and 8-speed transmission, including the Volkswagen Tiguan, Arteon, and Audi Q3. This high-performance intercooler system dramatically improves cooling efficiency and power output over the restrictive factory unit.

Key Features:

• Massive core measuring 24.00" x 16.25" x 2.25" with 877.5 cubic inches of volume—nearly double the factory 457.1 cubic inch core
• Precision-engineered cast aluminum end tanks with smooth internal surfaces for optimal airflow
• Advanced bar-and-plate core design maximizes heat dissipation while minimizing pressure drop
• Dramatically lowers intake air temperatures (IAT) under demanding conditions
• Proven to support over 500 horsepower in performance testing
• Delivers up to 21 horsepower gain over the OEM intercooler system
• Direct bolt-on installation with no permanent modifications required

By maintaining lower and more consistent intake air temperatures, the APR intercooler system helps preserve power output during spirited driving, reduces the likelihood of heat-induced timing pull, and provides a solid foundation for further engine modifications. The dramatically increased core volume and superior construction provide thermal performance that the factory system simply cannot match.
