NEUSPEED's Front Mount Intercooler Kit (FMIC) for the VW MK7/MK7.2 GTI requires absolutely no cutting or trimming of the bumper metal structure or bumper cover, only the air deflectors. plastic air. Kit includes intercooler with rubber isolator bracket, billet mounting brackets, silicone hoses, "T" bolt clamps and all necessary mounting hardware. Don't be fooled by biased forum websites, if you're looking for maximum HP and air charge cooling from a working FMIC, then NEUSPEED is the one for you. Highly efficient cast aluminum end tanks and bar and plate core design set this FMIC kit well above others on the market today, especially compared to lower "factory" style upgrades . The “factory” style intercooler system is sandwiched between two hot radiators; Air conditioning condenser and coolant radiator. In addition to its exposure limited by the opening of the grill (the bumper covers half of the active surface of the factory intercooler), l' restricted location behind A/C condenser et  constant radiant heat from both radiators makes factory style intercooler extremely inefficient - Just common sense! There's a reason race cars use the "front" mount and not the "mid" mount. The NEUSPEED FMIC fills the lower opening of the bumper with its twice-thick core and sits in front of the two radiators, exposing it first-hand to a flow of fresh, unrestricted air, this FMIC kit is the system of ultimate forced induction cooling !
