R2P MQB High-Performance Intercooler 17.7 Liters – Cooling Kit for VW Golf MK7, Audi S3 8V and Cupra Leon

The 17.7-liter R2P intercooler is an intake air cooler designed specifically for VAG Group vehicles on the MQB platform. It drastically reduces the temperature of the air entering the engine, which translates into more efficient combustion and a sustained power increase, especially in demanding driving or after Stage 2 and Stage 3 remaps.

Key features

• 17.7-liter capacity — Greater cooling volume than the original intercooler, it keeps temperatures stable even after continuous accelerations.
• High-efficiency core — Maximizes the flow of cold air to the engine, increasing horsepower and torque without compromising reliability.
• Aerospace-grade aluminum — Lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction designed to withstand high turbo pressures without deforming.
• Compact design — Installation at the original MQB platform mounting points, with no need for structural modifications (professional installation recommended).
• Protective coating — Anti-corrosion finish that extends the component's service life in any weather condition.

Why choose the R2P intercooler?

The standard intercooler tends to heat-soak after several accelerations, losing effectiveness and causing power loss. The R2P keeps intake temperatures stable thanks to its greater volume and optimized internal design, which reduces back pressure and allows the turbo to work more freely. Suitable for both daily use and track days.

Frequently asked questions

• Does it require modifications to install? No. It is designed to fit the original MQB platform mounting points, although professional installation is recommended to ensure a perfect seal.
• Is it valid for daily use? Yes. It improves performance in any situation without affecting urban driving or fuel consumption under normal conditions.
• Does it include silicone hoses? This kit focuses on the intercooler core to maximize cooling volume. Silicone hoses are sold separately if you wish to upgrade them.
