Real results on VAG TFSI platforms
Tested on a Golf Mk5 GTI 2.0 TFSI 200 PS at Devil Developments:
- Standard intercooler with Stage 1 ECU remap: 46°C intake temps at 239.7 bhp
- AIRTEC Stage 2 intercooler with Stage 1 ECU remap: 27°C intake temps at 253.4 bhp
Lower charge temps mean the ECU does not need to pull timing, so you keep the power. On more heavily modified cars with full exhausts and turbo upgrades, the stock intercooler can cost you in excess of 30 bhp due to heat soak. This AIRTEC Stage 2 FMIC fixes that.
