Throughout the development process we have strived to improve the efficiency and performance of the EA888 GEN3 engine. Our project brief was to develop an intercooler that utilised all of the available space in the original position of the OEM intercooler along with increasing the size again over our hugely successful product FMMK7FMIC. We also had to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uZk4cgFeZWE?si=BaNfWDj8AnshD5PU\u0026amp;start=306\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the MQB chassis the intercooler housing is particularly restricted and confined to a small amount of space, due to it not only housing the intercooler, but also the radiator and air conditioning condenser. The front panel in theory is a sandwich pack that houses the auxiliary cooling components. This means in order to increase the size of the intercooler without paying detriment to the performance of the surrounding items, and with also having very little extra space available, that it can be very difficult to execute the perfect blend of a high flow intercooler within such a close proximity. Our research and development engineers went back to the drawing board looking at previous documented dimensions while also taking new scans of the intercooler housing, this enabled the team to squeeze a further 10mm in depth of the core that houses very snugly into the earlier MQBs platform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe also looked at the differences between the Mk7 and Mk8 cooling components and found that the Mk7 Golf GTI and Golf R has a thicker radiator than the MK8 equivalent models thus meaning we also needed to consider any fitment procedures carefully.
