GReddy Intercooler V-Spec Kit Volkswagen Golf 1.8T

GReddy front-mounted intercooler (FMIC) kits are each designed specifically to safely increase the performance and efficiency of the 1.8T Volkswagen engine. GReddy front-mount intercooler kits include a large tube and fin intercooler core design that is optimized to provide the best combination of air flow and cooling. GReddy front mount intercooler kits are finished with high quality cast aluminum end-tanks, smooth, lightweight, aluminum piping and all the necessary mounting hardware. GReddy front mount intercooler kits are an outstanding, no-compromise performance upgrade that are competitively priced, great looking, easy to install, and high-quality like you'd expect from GReddy.

V-Spec. Core: Depending on the application and usage, some turbocharged set-ups require different flow characteristics. To add to the tuning choices, GReddy developed the V-Spec. line of intercooler cores with an inner"Micro Grove Tube" design. This intercooler design was developed to allow for larger cores that give good cooling with a more free flowing internal core. This is ideal for applications with low to medium-high boost levels in factory turbocharged engines or normally aspirated engines with bolt-on turbo kits.

Note: Intercooler fits 1.8T VW Jetta IV with Modification.

The addition of a GReddy intercooler in your Volkswagen is one of the best ways to safely increase horsepower in the 1.8T turbocharged engine. By reducing the engine's inlet temperatures, a denser air charge will enter the engine; this can make more horsepower at the same boost level and even more power at higher boost levels. Our Greddy intercooler vehicle specific kits include all the necessary mounts, aluminum piping, hoses, and clamps required to install the kit. All GReddy intercooler kits are designed with specific cores to provide an ideal concession of cooling and flow, with the added benefit of aggressive looks and style. Greddy engineers properly size the number of rows in the core and tune the internal core with either a free flowing V-spec. core. The V-spec and R-Spec cores are a lightweight air-to-air, tube and fin design with a highly efficient tube design, which allows smooth ambient flow for optimum heat dissipation and flow to engine cooling systems. Although only offered in very limited sizes, the M-Spec intercooler core is an economical compromise that has performance, which lies between the free flowing V-spec. and the extreme cooling potential of the R-Spec. cores. GReddy intercooler kits offer a great balance of heat exchanging efficiency and flow. The ends of the cores are TIG-welded by Greddy welders and capped off with our smooth flowing heavy-duty cast aluminum GReddy endtanks. Lightweight mandrel bent aluminum piping and/or cast aluminum elbows, complete with hose couplers, are used to route air charge smoothly to and from the Greddy v-spec intercooler.
