Upgrade Intercooler Kit for Passat 3BG 5B GP 1.8T – Silver

Upgrade Intercooler Kit – VW Passat 3BG (B5 GP) 1.8T - silver

Front-mounted intercooler system (FMIC) made of aluminum for the VW Passat 3BG 1.8T. The kit is installed between the turbocharger and the intake manifold and replaces the stock intercooler to significantly lower the charge air temperature under load.

How It Works & Benefits

• Increased air density: Thanks to more efficient cooling of the compressed charge air, a greater mass of oxygen enters the combustion chamber for the same volume.

• Thermal Relief: Reduces thermal stress on the engine and turbocharger, as lower turbocharger speeds are required for the same air mass.

• Performance: Supports optimized combustion and reduced fuel consumption and emissions (provided the engine control system is adjusted accordingly).

• Pressure Resistance: Every intercooler is tested for pressure resistance up to 5 bar before shipment.
