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

The R2P 17.7-litre intercooler is a charge air cooler built specifically for VAG Group vehicles on the MQB platform. It drastically reduces intake air temperatures, delivering more efficient combustion and sustained power gains, especially during demanding driving or after Stage 2 and Stage 3 tunes.

Features

• 17.7-litre capacity — Higher cooling volume than the stock intercooler, maintains stable temperatures even after repeated hard pulls.
• High-efficiency core — Maximises cold airflow to the engine, increasing horsepower and torque without compromising reliability.
• Aerospace-grade aluminium — Lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction designed to handle high turbo boost pressures without deforming.
• Compact design — Fits OEM mounting points on the MQB platform, no structural modifications required (professional installation recommended).
• Protective coating — Anti-corrosion finish extends the component's lifespan in all weather conditions.

Why choose the R2P intercooler?

The stock intercooler heat-soaks after a few hard pulls, losing efficiency and causing power drop-off. The R2P maintains stable intake temperatures thanks to its larger volume and optimised internal design, which reduces backpressure and lets the turbo breathe more freely. Suitable for daily driving and track days alike.

FAQ

• Does it require modifications to install? No. It's designed to fit the OEM mounting points on the MQB platform, though professional installation is recommended to ensure perfect sealing.
• Is it suitable for daily use? Yes. It improves performance in any situation without affecting city driving or normal fuel consumption.
• Does it include silicone hoses? This kit focuses on the intercooler core to maximise cooling volume. Silicone hoses are sold separately if you want to upgrade them.
