Background: Two aspects of intercooler performance that I have interest in knowing about are cooling efficiency and pressure drop across the core. This test is being performed to assess pressure drop by measuring airflow. The test subject is an Integrated Engineering intercooler for the Mk7 GTI / Golf R. The IE intercooler is a stock […]

Background: Recording intercooler performance from different suppliers on my GTI has been a goal for a while. The number of intercooler options, cost of the products, along with a relatively time consuming process of changing out intercoolers on the Mk7 have posed challenges. To identify the best candidates to go forward with installation I have

A while ago I installed a temperature sensor in the cold side Revo throttle charge pipe where a water/methanol jet is able to attach. This was done to compare the temperature of the charge air shortly after exiting the intercooler and once inside the intake manifold as reported by the GTI IAT sensor. When comparing
