If you’re looking to amp up your ride’s performance, this HPS Performance Cold Side Upper Intercooler Pipe Kit is where it’s at. I’ve had my hands on this kit, and let me tell you, it really makes a difference in throttle response and acceleration. The stock plastic cold side charge pipe just doesn’t cut it, and this upgrade is a game changer.

The kit swaps out that flimsy OEM setup for a robust 2.5" mandrel-bent 16-gauge 6061 aluminum tube. This isn’t just about looks; the design optimizes airflow, which translates to a noticeable boost in horsepower and torque. And the best part? You don’t have to mess with re-tuning your ECU to see the benefits. It’s a straightforward swap that gets you more out of your turbocharged engine.

One of the standout features is the HPS 4-ply reinforced silicone hoses that come with it. These bad boys are built to last, minimizing the risk of boost leaks and ensuring you get every ounce of power your engine can deliver. Plus, the kit includes 100% stainless steel embossed clamps, so you know everything is secure and ready for action.

Now, if you’re wondering about fitment, this kit is compatible with a range of models including the Volkswagen Golf 1.8T from 2015 to 2018, the Audi A3 2.0T from 2015 to 2020, and even the Volkswagen GTI MK7 from 2015 to 2019. It’s a perfect fit for anyone looking to replace their old or damaged OEM cold side charge pipe.

In terms of specs, you’re looking at a solid black finish that fits right into the sport compact scene. The aluminum tubing is not just lightweight but also incredibly durable, making it a smart choice for anyone serious about performance upgrades.

So, if you’re ready to cut down on boost leaks, enhance throttle response, and get a more exhilarating drive, this intercooler pipe kit is definitely worth considering. It’s not just a part; it’s a step toward unlocking your vehicle’s full potential.
