The ECS Tuning Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Kit boosts power and lowers intercooler outlet temps by maximizing core volume and more efficiently dispelling heat over the OEM sandwich-mounted intercooler. The factory intercooler is positioned between two hot heat exchangers, the A/C Condenser and Radiator, and suffers from an undersized and underperforming tube and fin core from the factory. Upgrading the OE-location intercooler is difficult for most hobbyists and is hidden within the core support. An alternative choice is our In-House Designed and Engineered FMIC Kit which relocates the charge cooler front and center, right behind your front bumper cover for maximum available airflow while moving it away from the hot heat exchangers inside the engine bay, all while adding an aggressive appearance to your turbocharged VW!
Our design features high quality cast aluminum end tanks with an integral flow divider on the inlet for even flow distribution, a massive 26” x 7 ⅞” x 3.0” (614.25 in.³ volume) aluminum bar and plate core, which lends to an increase in volume of +19.78% over the OEM GTI intercooler, for maximum heat dissipation, bolt-on powder-coated steel brackets, which require absolutely NO drilling or cutting, and 5-ply pre-molded silicone couplers with T-Bolt hose clamps. Our intercooler was in-house engineered to provide a bolt-on cooling solution for the VW MK7 GTI and Golf R market. Through our in-house evaluation on our ECS Shop MK7 GTI, we measured an increase of +24 WHP @ 6,400 RPM and +18 WTQ @ 6,375 RPM along with an increase of 19% in cooling efficiency and 80° F. lower intercooler outlet temperatures after 3 consecutive dyno pulls.

The factory MQB Gen3 plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.
At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our in house designed and engineered High Flow Intercooler Pipe Kit! Each kit comes standard with mandrel bent, bead rolled, powdercoated aluminum plumbing from the turbocharge to the throttle body, smooth flowing silicone couplers, stainless steel T-Bolt clamps and all installation accessories for an easy, direct bolt on installation.
The factory turbocharger outlet pipe has serious restriction right out of the compressor outlet due to small diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We improved on this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the turbo outlet which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger, 60mm (~2 3/8") tubing diameter intercooler pipes. The upper intercooler pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded mounting flange for the CNC-bent aluminum mounting bracket to allow for OE-like fitment. The lower intercooler pipe features a smooth transition into the silicone intercooler coupler for optimized flow.
Furthermore, the factory intercooler outlet pipe leaves room for improvement with its smaller diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We improved on this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the intercooler outlet which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger, 70mm (~2 3/4") tubing diameter throttle body pipe. The ECS intercooler outlet pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded MAP sensor mounting flange to allow for OE-like fitment. We've also include a smooth flowing silicone throttle body hose coupler to complete the transition from stock to better with our high quality parts.
Capable of withstanding greater heat and higher boost pressure than stock, you can expect to achieve greater reliability, less turbulence and less restriction thanks to the larger diameter tubing and smooth silicone bends. Never worry about blowing couplers off of our tubes, as each tube is bead rolled and secured with stainless T-bolt clamp over our 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers.
The Complete ECS High Flow Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit Include the following:
ECS High Flow Turbo Outlet Pipe Kit:
Silicone Turbo Outlet Coupler
60mm Upper Turbo Outlet Pipe, with CNC-Bent Mounting Bracket and Hardware
Silicone Upper-to-Lower Turbo Outlet Pipe Coupler

Due to the very high temperatures and constant heat cycling the OEM screws encounter, the flimsy plastic will become brittle over time. With almost 100% certainty, the stock screws will strip or break resulting in a coolant leak and an undrivable car if they are not replaced. ECS Tuning has you covered - we designed precision machined 7075-T6 billet aluminum bleeder screws that will last a lifetime!

The factory MQB Gen3 plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.
At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our in house designed and engineered High Flow Turbo Outlet Pipe Kit! Each kit comes standard with mandrel bent, bead rolled, powdercoated aluminum turbo-to-intercooler plumbing, smooth flowing silicone couplers stainless steel T-Bolt clamps and all installation accessories for an easy, direct bolt on installation.
The factory turbocharger outlet pipe has serious restriction right out of the compressor outlet due to small diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We improved on this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the turbo outlet which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger, 60mm (~2 3/8") tubing diameter intercooler pipes. The upper intercooler pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded mounting flange for the CNC-bent aluminum mounting bracket to allow for OE-like fitment. The lower intercooler pipe features a smooth transition into the silicone intercooler coupler for optimized flow.
Capable of withstanding greater heat and higher boost pressure than stock, you can expect to achieve greater reliability, less turbulence and less restriction thanks to the larger diameter tubing and smooth silicone bends. Never worry about blowing couplers off of our tubes, as each tube is bead rolled and secured with stainless T-bolt clamp over our 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers.
The ECS High Flow Turbo Outlet Pipe Kit includes the following:
Silicone Turbo Outlet Coupler
60mm Upper Turbo Outlet Pipe, with CNC-Bent Mounting Bracket and Hardware
Silicone Upper-to-Lower Turbo Outlet Pipe Coupler
60mm Lower Intercooler Pipe
Silicone Intercooler Inlet Coupler
Stainless Steel T-bolt Hose Clamps
Key Features:
Reduces turbulence and increases air flow capacity
Gains up to 10 WHP & 10 FT-lbs of torque with APR Stage 2 93 octane software, 3.0" Milltek turboback exhaust and ECS Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Air Intake with our High Flow Turbo Outlet Pipe Kit and Throttle Pipe Kit (Gains measured on MK7 Golf R)
Mandrel bent and bead rolled aluminum tubing, powder coated in tough wrinkle black or wrinkle red finishes
Replaces all rubber hoses from turbocharger-to-intercooler with 4-ply silicone upgrades
Easy, direct replacement upgraded part
Installation video and PDF available online

A last time, end-all repair of the inadequate OEM PCV hose design. By replacing the flimsy, heat hardened, OEM plastic hoses with 3-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone hoses, pre-molded to OEM specifications you can be certain to cure the inevitable return of many oil leaks and driveability problems that would have been.
Our ECS Tuning Silicone Upper & Lower PCV Hose Set includes the upper (manifold) PCV hose and lower (PCV to engine block) hose in gloss black silicone material and stainless steel smooth band hose clamps so you don't have to try and scour the garage or local parts stores.
PART DESIGN
Molded to OEM specifications, these are a direct replacement to the failure-prone, heat-hardened plastic hoses that nobody likes to mess with!
Easier to service than OEM clip-on hoses
Made from heavy duty, 3-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone, our silicone hoses can handle greater temperatures and more flexibility than the OEM plastic hose without failure. Designed to resist oil, fuel and electrochemical degradation and tested up to continuous 250° Fahrenheit operating temperature and over 45psi, you can expect to achieve greater reliability, less turbulence and improved flow with our smooth silicone hose set.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our ECS Silicone PCV Hoses were designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.
INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
Installation is the reverse order of removal of your OEM hoses, however, with our included worm gear clamps to be used to secure both hose end connections. Please reference your service manual on accessibility.
* This part is designed for the FSI engine only. This can easily be found on the engine cover of your 2.0T VW/Audi. It will clearly be stamped FSI (not TFSI).

Product Details
The OEM water distribution pipe is made of plastic, like many other components in your cooling system.
This plastic becomes brittle over time and exposure to constant temperature change.
Instead of installing another plastic piece that is bound to fail, ECS engineered a permanent solution; Our Billet Aluminum Water Pipe.
We started with the OEM piece to ensure we get all the critical dimensions just right.
Machined 6061 aluminum for a strong yet lightweight pipe.
Added a stainless steel drain plug with an easy to remove allen key
And finally anodized our aluminum beauty to protect it against corrosion.
Check out our cooling section for comprehensive cooling overhaul kits that include this pipe and everything else you'll need to keep your VR6 running flat out

Product Details
The plastic coolant connections are subjected to constant abuse, being exposed to a wide range of temperatures on a daily basis. If let go for too long, a broken fitting could cause a major coolant leak and costly repairs.
This fitting is used to connect the coolant lines from the turbocharger and the expansion tank to the coolant line that connects to the hard water pipe. This fitting is one of most common failure points in the cooling system on most transverse 1.8T's. If yours is broken or if you're seeking piece of mind, look no further than our direct fit ECS Tuning cast aluminum Split Pipe Coolant Fitting.
Replaces OEM part number 1J0122109AQ.
When you are replacing your coolant hoses, examine the rest of your cooling system to be sure that all these abused parts are being replaced. Replace any suspect hose flanges and pick up some factory-approved coolant for a complete job by checking under the Maintenance section of your specific model.

Product Details
The factory plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior plastic and rubber materials, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.

Upgrade / Replacement PCV Hose - For use with OE PCV System
We know all too well that VW and plastic parts do not go well together. With age and heat comes plastic parts that become brittle and can fall apart very quickly. The factory Gen3 PCV hose is no exception. Already plagued with heat hardening plastic, clips that are very fragile and difficult to deal with and weeping oil at the connection points, we can see how the OEM PCV hose saves room for improvement.
Introducing the ECS Upgraded PCV Breather Hose. Made with 6061-T6 billet aluminum adapters, Viton O-rings and -10AN braided nylon hose this durable upgrade kit is the last word in beefy PCV hoses! AN hose connections provide leak proof seals while the billet adapters precisely locate and make connections to the stock pressure control valve and turbo inlet pipe.
Upgrade to billet parts with our ECS Tuning PCV Breather Hose kit and put an end to your worries of plastic parts breaking and making a mess of your engine bay.
**Sold as a complete replacement / upgrade kit. Compatible with the OEM pressure control valve (PCV) and OE location turbo inlet pipe fitting.

Product Details
In most vehicle applications, the plastic accordion turbo inlet hose found in the intake system is not designed for performance or modification. It was designed to get the job done, but when you add a performance filter, intake, or tune the stock hose can start to show its weakness.
The ECS Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose was engineered in-house with a high quality 4-ply construction, providing a strong but flexible structure to ensure a secure fit. A smooth interior provides unimpeded airflow, while the smooth, unassuming exterior adds an appearance upgrade to any engine bay.
ECS' Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose arrives with the necessary clamps for proper installation.

Product Details
A small touch of carbon fiber can go a long way.
In most vehicles applications, the rubber throttle body hose found in the intake system is not designed for performance or modifications. It was designed to get the job done, but when you add a performance filter, intake, or tune the stock hoses can start to show their weakness. The stock rubber hoses can disrupt air flow as it passes over accordion sections, causing unwanted turbulence and negating the effects of intake modifications.
The ECS Tuning Carbon Fiber Supercharger Inlet Kit is engineered to fit like OEM with simple hand tools. Constructed of high quality materials, we ensured you receive nothing but the best. The intake tube is made from hand-laid laminated carbon fiber layers with a final layer of fiberglass applied to the interior wall, resulting in an aesthetically beautiful addition to your engine bay with the insulation properties for repeatable power delivery.
Mated with two 4-ply silicone couplers with stainless steel hose clamps, this kit is the perfect addition for those looking to improve their stock intake system without removing the factory airbox. Add a touch of carbon fiber to your engine bay and smooth out the intake tract with ECS Tuning's Carbon Fiber Supercharger Inlet Kit.
*The factory fuel line is routed on top of the supercharger inlet pipe. For a cleaner under-hood look, and to alleviate the concern of added stress on the fuel line, we've created a fuel line relocation kit - Please see ES3102572 (2013+ facelife), and ES3102573 (up to 2012 pre-facelift)*
