Description
The Mishimoto Intercooler Pipe Kit (MMICP-MK7-15KP) replaces the restrictive factory charge piping on the MK7-platform hot hatch with a forced induction system engineered for higher boost. Instead of plastic and rubber sections prone to bends and degradation, this kit swaps in mandrel-bent aluminum pipe and heat-resistant 5-layer silicone couplers, and it’s offered here in a polished finish to match a cleaned-up engine bay.
Mishimoto built this kit to correct the core weaknesses of the stock induction system: too many bends, a narrow bore, and materials that break down under sustained boost. By straightening the path and increasing the average pipe diameter, the kit delivers a 30-percent increase in flow over stock components and a 10-percent increase in average diameter over the factory piping, improving reliability of the forced induction system when running higher boost or an aftermarket tune. The result is a sturdier, longer-lasting connection between the turbo and intercooler that’s built to handle the demands of a performance induction setup.
Vehicle Applications
This intercooler pipe kit is designed around the MK7, 8V, and FV chassis codes and covers a wide span of Volkswagen and Audi turbocharged models. On the Volkswagen side, it fits Golf GTI trims from 2015 through 2021, Golf R trims from 2015 through 2019, and select Golf trims (including S, SE, SportWagen, TSi, and Wolfsburg Edition) from 2017 through 2021. On the Audi side, it fits A3 and S3 trims from 2015 through 2020, along with TT trims from 2015 through 2021 and TTS trims from 2016 through 2021. Note that this kit is compatible with the EA888 Gen3 engine paired with a manual or 6-speed DSG transmission only; the hot-side intercooler piping may not fit properly on vehicles equipped with a 7-speed DSG.
