Your factory 2.9TT water-cooled intercooler relies on a severely undersized core volume of only 1,870cm^3 and shared engine coolant to regulate air intake temperatures. Even in completely stock form, spirited and normal driving leads to significant rises in air temperatures, resulting in power reduction. The cooling benefits of water are not enough to compensate for the tiny intercooler size, coupled with the increased water weight and heat demands on the radiator.
The iE intercooler adopts a traditional air-to-air design, divorcing the core from engine coolant. This strategic shift substantially increases core volume to 18,500cm^3 (10X larger!), providing an extensive surface area for efficient heat dissipation. This separation delivers unmatched cooling for even the most serious builds, less water weight, and allows the factory radiator to focus on keeping the drivetrain cool.
What's the use of a large intercooler core if it can't efficiently harness the increased volume and surface area of the core? IE's Flow Distribution System (FDS) places precisely shaped fins inside the end tank to ensure uniform airflow across the core surface area evenly. This advanced design element enhances heat distribution and enables quicker recovery. When it comes to significantly reducing intake air temperatures (IAT) for maximal power gains, IE's FDS technology stands as the proven cheat code.
Despite its impressive size, this intercooler has been meticulously designed for a precise fit. iE engineers utilize state-of-the-art 3D scanning equipment and rapid prototyping techniques, guaranteeing a snug yet perfect installation.
The provided thick-gauge stainless steel and aluminum mount brackets with our reinforced casting mounts are meticulously engineered to ensure longevity and worry-free operation. Every mounting boss and surface undergoes precision CNC machining and meticulous hand verification to guarantee an exact fit. Despite its substantial size, the intercooler seamlessly retains the factory crash bar, prioritizing safety without compromising performance.
To ensure maximum quality, meticulous attention to detail, and outstanding craftsmanship, each intercooler undergoes precise hand TIG welding by skilled intercooler specialists. Following welding, every unit undergoes rigorous post-welding multi-point critical inspections and thorough testing in a leak-down station. This stringent manufacturing process guarantees a reliable product ready to install and performs flawlessly right out of the box.

Integrated Engineering was founded in 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was started by two brothers Peter and David Blais. The two shared the same passion for racing, and this has jumpstarted the two to create Integrated Engineering.
The company specializes in manufacturing performance products such as rods, camshafts, valve trains, and Billett accessories. Today, they have become a household name when it comes to performance.
German Car ExpertsIntegrated Engineering focuses on producing performance products for Audi and VWs. As the experts in these platforms, they are able to pinpoint exactly what parts need to be improved to bring out the best in those vehicles. The company considers not only the performance gain but its reliability as well. Their goal is to turn these vehicles into a better performing machine without compromising its reliability.
Attention to Detail is the KeyTo create top quality products, the company carefully studies each design detail using specialized software. This enables them to fine-tune the design before it goes to actual manufacturing. They first test their design in ABS plastic to ensure that all measurements are accurate and on the spot. Once everything has been checked, their performance products are then tested in their in-house engine and chassis dyno machine for long hours to test its performance and reliability.
This attention to detail has enabled their parts to perform in extreme conditions and withstand the punishment usually endured during high-performance applications.
