MK6FMIC
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.
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
On the dyno this front mount intercooler setup will generate as much as 30whp and 40wtq (See Complete Dyno Details Here). 
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.
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.

United StatesOther then the fact I installed it wrong the first time a great product with good craftsmanship the install video was very helpful as well (I just have no skills) power and temps feel good definitely upgrade over stock thanks again arm team !
United StatesWas having issues for a while with my engine heating up but after installing my front mount I have had no problems and car has been running strong with no problems . Great investment for sure !
United StatesGood quality and good fitment. Works amazingly!
To start off the install was super eazy minus the removal of the factory intercooler . Little tricky doing it alone and second set of hands would have helped a ton . Anyways great fit looks great and performs great my IAT temps have went down and stay pretty low . I got the trophy gold and it looks great . Overall I am super happy with the install and the performance
After purchasing the cooler, delete kit and all charge pipes, I couldn’t wait to get the FMIC installed! This definitely took some time to mount and install but well worth it as the performance aspect is much better. Only downpipe is the front bumper is slightly hitting the cooler and it’s such a tight fitment to get bumper back on. Maybe something else was causing this but after careful overlooking, disassemble and reassemble again it was the cooler being in the way.
