HF-Series Uprated Front Mount Intercooler VW Golf MK7 R GTI / S3 8V / Cupra 5F

This upgrade intercooler for VAG 1.8-2.0 T(F)SI Euro 6 models is a highlight from the HF-Series series.

The high-quality Bar ?n ?Plate network has the best cooling properties in order to deliver the best performance even in poor conditions and at the same time to be very robust.

It is characterized by high resistance and does not heat itself up as much as comparable networks from other manufacturers.

At the same time, the entire system is also geared towards the best flow.

This means that the pressure loss is minimal and the entire charge airway has been developed in a streamlined way with CAD flow analyses. This also includes the cooler boxes, which are made of high-strength cast aluminum and are equipped with our WAY FIN TECHNOLOGY.

Technical details:
- Net type: Bar'n'Plate
- Net dimensions HF-Series: 620 x 430 x 50 mm (OEM: 620 x 410 x 30 mm)
- 63.16% more filling volume: HF-Series: 6.2L (OEM: 3.8L)
- 74.71% more mesh volume: HF-Series: 13.33L (OEM: 7.63L)
- Surface: black powder-coated
- incl. 2x pressure hoses and 4x clamps

The advantages of this product are:
1. Improved flow and uniform pressure distribution for maximum efficiency:

With our WAY FIN TECHNOLOGY, we achieve an even better flow and a more uniform pressure distribution through the entire radiator network through a guide fin in the cooler box, thus achieving maximum efficiency.

3. Earlier responsiveness & improved performance:

Thus, this product is interesting for series performance as well as for racing, because much higher performances are also possible.

Each individual radiator was built on the respective vehicle, calculated in flow simulations and tested on the in-house dynamometer.

This intercooler is mounted on the original breakpoints of the original OEM intercooler and therefore does not require any major adjustment work. The installation can be carried out by customers with well-assorted toolboxes themselves.

What exactly does an intercooler upgrade bring you?

In order to express an exact additional power of an intercooler in numbers, many unknown factors must be taken into account, such as: power dispersion ex works, further hardware changes, as well as the software used in the determination.

This varies from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb for performance-enhanced engines, one can assume up to 5% - 10%.

But what is at least as important: Whether already optimized or whether your engine should remain standard on the software side, you prevent a loss of power, especially at high outside air temperatures, or even the achievement of the temperature protection that is stored in many control units, and can therefore always count on the full power of your engine.

Recommendation
Use our HF-Series intercooler as a combination of hardware & software optimization.

By reducing the back pressure (relieving the turbocharger) and cooling the charge air (increasing the oxygen content in the combustion chamber + thermal relief), this results in a performance tuning in which the potential of each turbocharged engine is used efficiently.

If you deal with the hardware or software tuning of your vehicle, you must not ignore the factor "boost pressure loss".

If you now increase the performance of your vehicle through chip tuning, the boost pressure is also increased in 99% of cases. By using the standard intercooler, the boost pressure loss increases exponentially. This means that the turbocharger has to work even more, so that the thermal load on the turbocharger increases and the service life decreases or wears out faster due to high speeds.

With our HF-Series intercoolers, we create the perfect balance between cooling effect and boost pressure loss.
