PROFILE

ARM Motorsports presents the MK6 GTI Front Mount Intercooler. Unlike OEM-style intercoolers, this is a true front mount design where the intercooler is placed first in line of airflow at the front of the radiator stack equipped on the 2.0T engine. 

MK6 FMIC



This design positions the intercooler directly in the openings of the GTI"s front bumper where it is exposed to the coolest air for the biggest gains in horsepower. This is not a twincooler type of setup, rather this FMIC does away with the OEM intercooler entirely. The OEM intercooler can be left in place disconnected, or completely removed with our OEM Intercooler Delete Kit. Removing of the OEM intercooler allows for better airflow through the radiator bundle and also reduces some weight. 



On the dyno this front mount intercooler setup will generate as much as 30whp and 40wtq (See Complete Dyno Details Here). 

GTI DYNO INTERCOOLER
 
The temperature of the compressed air leaving the turbocharger is high due to it being propelled by the hot exhaust gases from the GTI's 2.0 T engine. Hotter air contains less oxygen than cooler air occupying the same amount of space. The more oxygen delivered inside the engine cylinder the more potential power is available from the engine. Enter the ARM FMIC intercooler, a component designed to take the hot air from the turbo and cool it before returning it to the engine by putting it in the most optimal position.

CONSTRUCTION

The larger an intercooler is the better it is at lowering the temperature of the charged air from the turbo before it reached the throttle body. However, if an intercooler is too large, it can cause an adverse pressure drop, increasing turbo lag. Because the ARM Intercooler is located in front of the other radiators on the car it can cool the charged air more effectively than larger intercoolers in the OEM location. Which is why the ARM Motorsports FMIC core size of 23.5" x 6.5" x 3" is the perfect balance for maximizing cooling efficiency while minimizing pressure drop. 

The ARM Motorsports MK6 GTI Front Mount Intercooler Kit is fully reversible, making it a true bolt on unit. For complete step by step installation instructions, check out the install video.

ARM MOTORSPORTS LIFETIME WARRANTY

Every ARM Motorsports product is backed by a lifetime warranty which is automatically issued at the time of purchase. Your warranty protects you against any defects in craftsmanship or fitment. The warranty entitles you to a replacement unit.

 
*Kits are made-to-order. As we do not physically keep everything in stock, kits have a ship time of about 3 weeks after your payment has processed. This is common for the N54 Single Turbo market if you look on other websites.

Unleash the full potential of your N54 engine with our Top Mount Single Turbo Kit, engineered for seamless fitment, durability, and big power capability. Designed to support 800whp+, this kit is the ultimate upgrade for those who demand power without compromise.

High-Quality 304 Stainless Steel Manifold

Crafted from 304 stainless steel, the manifold offers superior heat resistance, corrosion protection, and structural integrity. Unlike lower-grade materials, 304 stainless ensures long-term reliability under extreme heat and boost pressures, making it ideal for high-performance applications. The precision-engineered tubular design is optimized for maximum exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and enhancing turbo efficiency. This manifold is similar to ones being sold on AliExpress and other overseas markets. However, we've partnered directly with the manufacturer to provide these manifolds in the highest of quality. Unlike those that are drop-shipping similar manifolds from unreliable sources. You are purchasing directly from the source.

Industry-Leading Fitment

Fitment has been meticulously tested and compared against all major top-mount kits on the market, and ours ranks among the best. The compact yet efficient design ensures hassle-free installation, eliminating clearance issues that plague other kits.

Smart Wastegate Placement

No more tearing the entire kit apart just to make a simple wastegate adjustment. Our strategically placed wastegate design allows for quick, easy access, so you can fine-tune your setup without unnecessary downtime.

Built for Serious Power

With the ability to support 800whp+, this kit is designed for enthusiasts pushing their N54 to the limit. Whether you’re chasing high-speed pulls or dominating the track, this setup provides the boost response, reliability, and power potential you need.
