PERFORMANCE - VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN MK2 (5N) 2016-2024

Purpose-designed for the 2.0 TSI MQB 'Evo' engine, this is the largest-volume intercooler available for this platform. What it does.The factory intercooler on the 2.0 TSI MQB 'Evo' has proved to be unable to cope with the demands of higher power, hard driven cars, showing up as serious power losses during hard driving as air temperatures soar. Our massive 'plate & bar' Intercooler System uses a huge 70mm core to give a 96% volume increase over the factory cooler - making it the largest volume and best performing intercooler upgrade on offer for the 2.0 TSI gen.4. By consistently reducing intake air temperatures (IAT), heat soak is minimised delivering increased performance again and again. No need for the recovery cool-down times needed for the production intercooler. Our development focussed on finding the ‘sweet spot’ of maximum IAT cooling versus minimum pressure loss. This has allowed us to achieve increased size without increased lag.  Increased 70mm inlet and outlet sizes allow for higher flow versus the 60mm factory outlets, with matching Boost Hoses provided with the intercooler kit. Unlike most aftermarket intercoolers listed for the MQB 'Evo' platform, ours has been designed exclusively for the 2.0 TSI Gen.4 from the ground-up. MAXIMUM CORE SIZE The massive 'plate & bar' intercooler unit features a 70mm high-speed core using extra tall internal tubes for maximum boost flow and a massive 96% increase in volume. BOOST HOSES INCLUDED Internally-wired OEM fitment 70mm boost hoses are included, multi-ply to resist heat deformation and burst pressure. Supplied with stainless steel Mikalor-brand clamps. FLOWED END TANKS Cast construction end tanks for minimal turbulence and restriction use internal flow guides to divert airflow up and down across the entire core depth, with enlarged 70mm inlet & outlet.

Giant core volume of 19,404,000mm³ vs 9,895,200mm³ for the factory cooler core Internal flow guides to optimise internal air flow via cast end-tanks Sophisticated 'Plate & Bar' construction outperforms the cheaper, less-effective 'Tube & Fin' construction Multi-ply, reinforced Boost Hoses are moulded with internal steps to maximise laminar airflow Intercooler outlets are 70mm vs 60mm for the OE cooler for increased flow Intercooler Performance.It's all about air intake temperatures. The OEM factory intercooler on the 2.0 TSI MQB 'Evo' struggles with containing the all-important air intake temperatures, especially once power is upgraded. So, intake air temperatures begin to rise rapidly, heat soak occurs, resulting in significant power losses the harder the car is used. The only way to recover the performance of the standard intercooler is to park the car for an hour. With a 70mm core-depth (vs 60-65mm for most other aftermarket intercoolers) and giant internal volume, the RacingLine Intercooler makes a great difference in controlling IAT temperatures, meaning that your power increases keep on delivering, run after run. Intercooler fitment. To accommodate the giant size of the RacingLine Intercooler, some light trimming of the black plastic radiator carrier is required.   This trimming is minimal on popular models such as the Golf mk8, but more may be required on some other MQB 'Evo' models.   For reference, fitment is designed for radiator carrier –  VW Part No. / 5H0 805 588 J
