Product Description
KYOSTAR's Bar & Plate Competition Intercooler has the following core size (620mm x 410mm x 65mm), providing 110% more volume compared to the original intercooler.
While aftermarket Tube & Fin designs offer a basic upgrade, our heavy-duty 23-row Bar & Plate core takes TFSI performance to another level. Engineered specifically for high-boost TFSI tuning, fast-road, and track-day applications, this high-density layout maximizes heat dissipation and provides superior thermal mass to combat heat soak. Combined with a specialized anti-corrosion coating, it guarantees consistently low IATs and safely handles extreme diesel boost pressures. 100% direct plug-and-play fitment.
Features:
-
Rugged Bar & Plate Construction: Ditches fragile Tube & Fin designs for thick aluminum bars and plates. This heavy-duty structure resists impact from road debris, preventing crushed fins and boost leaks during track or daily driving.
-
High-Density 23-Row Layout: Featuring 23 tightly packed rows, this core maximizes both internal airflow volume and external heat dissipation surface area. This ultra-dense configuration ensures consistently lower Intake Air Temperatures (IAT) for maximum power gains.
-
Superior Anti-Heat Soak: The denser aluminum mass acts as a massive heat sink, effectively absorbing sudden temperature spikes. This dramatically delays "Heat Soak" during back-to-back pulls or aggressive track sessions.
-
High-Boost Cast End Tanks: Smooth-flowing cast aluminum end tanks are 100% TIG-welded to the core, completely eliminating weak OEM plastic crimps. It safely handles extreme boost pressures from tuned or upgraded turbos without expanding or bursting.
