Airtec Intercooler Upgrade for SEAT Cupra R
Upgrade the cooling performance of your SEAT Cupra R with the Airtec front mount intercooler kit. This direct-fit FMIC removes the restrictive twin intercooler setup and replaces it with a high flow single pass 60 mm core design while retaining the standard crash bar. Available in Pro-Series Satin Black or Silver, it is a proven performance upgrade for fast road and track use.
