Don't be fooled from bias forum threads pushing factory upgrade replacement, if your looking for max HP and air charge cooling from an FMIC that works then NEUSPEED is the one to get.
The highly efficient cast aluminum end-tanks and bar-and-plate core design place this FMIC kit well above others currently in the market, especially compared to the inferior ‘factory’ style upgrades. ‘Factory’ style intercooler system is sandwiched between two hot radiators; A/C condenser and coolant radiator. On top of its limited exposure by the grill opening (bumper covers half of the factory intercooler’s active surface), the restricted location behind A/C condenser, and constant radiant heat from the two radiators make the factory style intercooler extremely inefficient.
NEUSPEED FMIC fills the lower bumper opening with its twice-thick core and sits in front of the two radiators exposing it first hand to cool and unrestricted airflow makes this FMIC kit the ultimate forced-induction cooling system!
Optionally, our Stage 2 Front Mount InterCooler (FMIC) kit for the Volkswagen Jetta GLI Mk7 was completely redesigned for vehicles with larger turbo conversions, a longer core, and newly designed end tanks with larger inlet and outlet to work best with the higher HP output.
Both kits include intercooler with rubber isolator mounting, billet mounting brackets, silicone hoses, "T" bolt hose clamps, and all necessary mounting hardware.
