Arteon Intercooler Recommendations?

I suggest you have a read of this guys blog who has tested a huge number of the available intercoolers for MQB cars.

Personally, I was going to buy the Integrated Engineering intercooler (as I have their intake, downpipe and ECU/DSG tune), but chose the Swedish made DO88 as its was basically just as good in most aspects and about $500 cheaper. (DO88 is $1200 and IE is $1700)

... while I'm off reading, does anyone know what the cooling-style cores that sit behind our brake air intakes do?



There's also one on the passenger side of my R36, but the driver side vent is entirely blocked off.

Ok, so it looks like DO88 and IEv2 are contenders - with DO88 being good value. Wagner (not Wanger, heh =D) may be another option.

IEv2 seems to have a slight edge on temperature, with DO88 having a little more airflow.

IE appear to have a bit of a lead-time delay on supply. Where your DO88 took approx 1 week to ship after ordering? I assume you're happy with the results?

Would've been nice to see the Racingline compared, but at ~$2,100 it'd want to be damn good. Just to be sure, I'll look around for a comparison, and maybe better pricing.
