That means you can install this kit without any trimming or modification of the bumper. The OEM FMIC is adequate for stock boost levels, however, once boost levels are increased by way of ECU upgrades\/chipping the OEM FMIC struggles to keep the charged air temperatures in check. Higher charged air temperatures can result in boost cut and timing pull, both reducing the amount of power your vehicle produces.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe CTS direct fit FMIC uses a high-efficiency bar and plate intercooler core, which aids in reducing pressure drop. Reducing pressure drop means that your turbo will not have to work as hard to make a given level of boost. If your turbo makes 30psi of boost pressure in the turbocharger, and your intercooler has a 10psi pressure drop, then the boost measured by your ECU would be (30psi – 10psi) = 20psi. With an efficient FMIC like the CTS direct fit FMIC, your turbo does not have to work as hard to reach desired boost levels. This is beneficial in two ways, the turbo life expectancy is increased due to more efficient operation, and boost leaving the turbocharger is cooler and denser, resulting in more power to the ground.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct Details:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEfficient bar and plate construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-in installation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4-ply silicone hoses and billet adaptor to the turbo outlet pipe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh quality stainless steel clamps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow-pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaintains factory mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo trimming of bumper or crash supports\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRated for power levels in excess of 600HP\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCore dimensions: 23.00 Length x 2.00″ Tall x 16.5″ Height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCast aluminium end tanks with mounting points that are CAST into the end tank, NOT welded like inferior intercoolers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49310837571843,"sku":"CTS-20T-MK6-DF","price":2234.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9432\/0899\/files\/cts-20t-mk6-df-1.jpg?v=1784798316","url":"https:\/\/full-throttle.co.nz\/products\/cts-direct-fit-intercooler-fmic-kit-vw-golf-gti-mk5-6","provider":"Full Throttle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
