Mishimoto Volkswagen MK5/MK6 GTI / Volkswagen MK6 Golf R Engine Intercooler
Upgrade your Volkswagen MK5 and MK6 GTI or MK6 Golf R with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler designed for direct bolt-on installation. This intercooler replaces the factory tube-and-fin unit prone to boost leaks and heat soak during boosted driving. It delivers cooler charged air with a 20 F temperature drop and 9% better flow for reliable power gains across demanding conditions.
Key Features

- Core Dimensions: 21.25 in x 7.25 in x 3.5 in (539mm x 184mm x 89mm) provides massive cooling capacity without clearance issues
- 5-Layer Silicone Couplers: Heavy-duty reinforced design pairs with CNC-machined adapter for leak-free seal on stock piping
- Performance Gains: 9% airflow increase and 20 F lower intake temps maintain consistent boost and prevent power loss
