SKU: 15030
Please allow 3-4 days for this product to ship.
Euro Sport's Intercooler Kit for the VW Mk4 Golf & Jetta 1.8T engine. The Euro Sport intercooler is constructed of an all-aluminum bar & plate core with cast aluminum end tanks. Tubing is all 2" mandrel-bent with a black wrinkle powder coating for durable protection with a factory look. The Euro Sport Intercooler kit replaces the inefficient and undersized factory intercooler. By increasing the overall size of the intercooler and its upfront mounting location the air intake temperature will remain cooler in all conditions and increase your horsepower & torque in the entire rpm band. Another added benefit is a much smoother power band giving the car a more linear feel during acceleration & eliminating boost surging almost entirely. The Euro Sport intercooler is a great upgrade to any Mk4 1.8t and is especially important on cars with ECU programming or other upgrades. Great for all KO3 & KO4 turboed cars. The intercooler is capable of 300hp. Includes all mounting hardware, brackets, silicone hoses, clamps, and step-by-step color instructions.

Both data log and dyno runs were accomplished on a Dynojet 248C in 4th gear from 2000-7000 RPM. 20,000 CFM fans were used. The outside temperature was 70 degrees F. Test vehicle is a 2001 VW Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 1.8T. Engine Modifications: GIAC ECU program for 91 octane, ITG profilter in stock airbox.
Datalog Test: This is comparing the air intake temperature between the stock intercooler and the Euro Sport FMIC. The stock intercooler started at 91 degrees Fahrenheit and climbed to 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The Euro Sport FMIC started at 79 degrees Fahrenheit and climbed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit - a difference of 54 degrees cooler than stock. The ambient temperature was approximately 70 degrees during both tests.
Dyno Test: This is comparing the Horsepower and Torque between the stock intercooler and Euro Sport FMIC. The Euro Sport FMIC gained 11.2 Horsepower and 11 Torque AT THE WHEELS over stock.
Intercooler install
Intercooler was easy to install.I like that the the pipping ran under the car than over the valve cover. I don't know why a drill bit is supplied with the kit,the drill but isn't even the right size for the tap.Also the the drill bit that is supplied has to be the cheapest thing they can find and doesn't even cut at all.I recommend having a really good sharp set of drill bits to drill through the front crash bar due to metal being very hard and not too easy to drill through

Thanks for your feedback Eric :-) The drill bit should be correct in this kit and its something we have been selling for over 15 years. Using a 1/8" pilot drill first and some lube on the drill bit as noted in the instructions makes all the difference during installation. Thank you.
I love this intercooler
https://youtu.be/gHHnCbSBz3Y I love this intercooler cause it's the only one in the market that routes all pipes underneath the engine bay giving a cleaner look to the engine bay. Kind of tricky but easy install.

Very well put together kit, everything fit perfectly. However drilling through the crash bar was nearly impossible and took me hours.
Euro Sport Accessories
Thank you for the review. Yes, as the instructions indicate you must use cutting lubricate drilling this or your drillbit will get damaged in the process.

Hi Tyson, We will go ahead and email you the installation instructions today. Thank you
Alright, some fitment issuses.
Seems to be working alright but I had to destroy my bumper which still doesn't fit right. I ended up ordering an aftermarket bumper to fit. I would have gone with a bigger fmic if I knew this was the case.
Euro sport front mount
Great, fairly easy install. Total worth the money.
Great Product!!!
Very easy bolt on install if your going to do it yourself. Will need to drill holes in the vehicles frame so the included screws and brackets can mount properly. And proper fitment of piping will require cutting into the plastic front undercarriage and parts of the bumper as well.

very good takes for the great prices
1.8t fmic
So far so good, no problems. Slight trimming needed for bumper to fit right. I'm really enjoying the simplicity of the setup.
Great fit, easy to follow
Great fit, easy to follow instructions make for a easy install... 5 star
very pleased with results
I got this kit last month...fits and works great on my 1.8t. Thanks :)
Great Kit!
This kit comes with a great instructional DVD with easy to follow steps. My air intake temps have dropped drastically compared to stock sidemount. I purchased this item hoping for easy fitment, with minimal bumper trimming necessary and that's exactly what I got! Mounted behind stock Jetta gls bumper (2005)
good quality
Intake air temps dropped dramatically after installing this, really made the car more fun to drive without the dreaded heat soak issue from the ****** stock intercooler, what a joke that was once I pulled it out, lol. Took me about 4 hours to install.
Love this kit!!!
Amazed how this made such a huge difference. Engine pulls stronger and smoother everywhere. Glad it eliminated most of the dreaded surging too. Installation was a little difficult but everything fit well and it's so well hidden, love the stealth appearance. Oh and the instructions were very detailed.
