It's certainly a different/better spec than the older tfsi item then. If not a match to the s3

I swapped the cooler for S3 on both my TFSi and TSi and they are pretty much the same intercooler from what I could see. Certainly same thickness (or very similar) cores.

The S3 is thicker by some margin. 20mm springs to mind but I would have to measure it.

The Mk6 GTI has the same IC as later spec S3's

Having swapped mine for an S3 cooler I can tell you it's not.

The UK Mk6 Golf GTI has the same IC as the GOLF R and later spec S3.
In other continents it does not.

My 2011 vRS, which has the same engine, had a different cooler :confused:

Maybe this is why the Golf is £4K more ?? :signLOL:

Just done a quick google search and its deffo not on the US spec MK6. I wish i knew how to add a link as i have found a great quote by "Bruce" stating the s3 cooler with plastic end tanks is actually more efficient than the alloy one !!

  :signLOL:Just to add fuel to the fire this is a copy and paste of Bruce's post on a US forum:

The Mk.VI Golf R FMIC with plastic endtanks is even more efficient than the old full alloy S3 FMIC.
Hard to believe but true. I was told by a mate working at Volkswagen in Wolfsburg where they did all
the testings. It's not only material and dimensions. The newer one has a better internal shape.

Current Golf R, S3 and Mk.VI GTI are identical. The former Mk.V GTI FMIC was thinner and less efficient.

Awesome!!

Nice to know. Probably goes someway to explaining why stage 2 on a ko3 TSI is rather impressive. Mine dyno'd on Monday at over 300
