Do88 Performance Intercooler: VW Polo GTI & Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 TSI

Unlock the true potential of your EA888 engine with the Do88 Performance Intercooler. Designed specifically for the VW Polo GTI and Seat Ibiza Cupra, this upgrade is engineered to deliver consistent power by drastically reducing intake temperatures. Whether you are driving on a hot summer day or pushing the car through repeated full-throttle runs, this intercooler ensures your engine performs at its peak.

Significant Performance Advantages

Do88 has developed this unit to far exceed the limitations of the OEM intercooler. Through rigorous testing, the data speaks for itself. This unit is optimized for the given space to provide maximum efficiency without compromising fitment.

• Massive Core Volume: 8767cm³ compared to the OEM 4763cm³. That is an 84% increase in core size.
• Larger Cooling Area: Active cooling area increased to 1753cm² vs the OEM 595cm², making it 194% bigger.
• Superior Air Flow: Flows 304 CFM at 0.15bar/2.18psi pressure drop, a 12% improvement over the OEM 273 CFM.
• Lower Temperatures: Post-intercooler air temperature dropped by 32°C compared to the stock unit under the same tough conditions (42°C vs 74°C).

Why You Need This Upgrade

There is a common misconception that intercoolers are only necessary after a major engine tune. This is false. Even on a standard, non-tuned car, the engine can easily generate dangerously high inlet temperatures during inspired driving or hot weather.

The OEM intercooler often lacks the cooling capacity required for sustained performance. When the intake air gets too hot, the engine management system pulls timing, resulting in a loss of power. The Do88 intercooler eliminates this heat, ensuring that your promised power output is available every time you hit the gas. It withstands repeated pulls without heat-soaking, allowing the engine to pull stronger through the entire rev range.

Premium Construction & Easy Fitment

Manufactured exclusively in high-grade aluminum with continuous welds, this intercooler guarantees reliability and endurance. Do88 has made no compromises in the design. Despite the massive increase in size and performance, this product is designed for an easy drop-in fitment.

The kit comes with everything necessary for installation, including bolts, washers, and mounting hardware.
