The factory intercooler on the Polo GTI AW is unable to cope with the demands of higher power, hard driven cars, showing up as serious power losses during demanding driving as air temperatures soar. The RacingLine Performance Intercooler for the 2017+ Polo GTI AW is the answer!
RacingLine’s High Performance ‘Plate & Bar’ Intercooler for Polo GTI AW & AW.2 will deliver lovely cool intake air temperatures for your 2.0 TSI EA888 gen.3B or gen.4 Polo.
RacingLine’s massive ‘plate & bar’ Intercooler System is one of the best performing intercooler upgrade on offer for these cars. Its massive ‘Plate & Bar’ stepped core gives a mighty 56% increase in core volume over stock, with internal fin design featuring a high-speed core using extra tall internal tubes for maximum boost flow.
Fitment is specific for the Polo GTI AW – meaning no cutting or drilling is required to fit, and it’s carefully designed to retain and fit around the car’s original front crash bar.
RacingLine’s development focussed on finding the ‘sweet spot’ of maximum IAT cooling versus minimum pressure loss. Cast end tank construction ensures minimal turbulence and restriction delivers maximum flow across the entire stepped-core’s depth, aided by the integrated flow guides. This has allowed RacingLine to achieve increased frontal area by an impressive 25% versus the factory cooler, but without the typical increased lag that often results from such a big cooler.
Intercooler outlets are 60mm – meaning stock boost pipes can be retained, or for optimum performance, RacingLine’s Polo GTI AW upgraded boost pipe kit fits perfectly.
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 that the production intercooler requires.
This track-proven cooler really is essential for every stage of tuning on any Polo GTI AW or AW.2 with 2.0 TSI EA888 engine (in either Gen.3B for AW or Gen.4 for AW.2).
