Intercooler Upgrade and Installation ~ Stage 2 Golf R

In this DIY video we are installing an upgraded intercooler on a 2019 MK7.5 Golf R. This intercooler up grade is part of a full stage 2 build including a downpipe, turbo inlet pipe, and Stage 2 software. Installing an upgraded intercooler on a turbocharged car can help keep intake air temps lower, under high boost, and can reduce heat soak in performance driving situations. Stay tuned for the rest of the stage 2 Golf R build! #humblemechanic #golfR

You coming here thinking you'll do your car by yourself when you watch the video, and end up thinking "I should just hire this guy to do it for me"

[@spinnetti]

I found I didn't have to take the radiator out or disconnect it at all. Kinda hard to describe, but the passenger side stuff stayed mostly put, the splayed out the drivers side enough to slide our the stock IC and put in the new one. Can send you a pick if you like

[@burb17]

I installed this over the summer. I did not follow the instructions and remove the radiator tho. I went the Paul at deutsche method instead . This may have made it more difficult but I got it done. One thing I was glad to see in your video is how tight the fit is for the condenser tabs. I wondered if mine was messed up. One of the the tabs for on my intercooler actually cracked when I was trying to put it together. I decided to open up those slots slightly with a dremel so the tabs would slide in easily.

[@AP9311]

I like it. But that's so much to take off just to change the charge cooler. Wow. I don't even own VW. But I found it therapeutic to watch you change it lol. Awesome video, Charles!!

This is how I dream my install will go. Me. 5 minutes in “has anyone got a grinder”. 🤣🤣🤣

[@keithbowen9561]

At 21mins 30 in when you tightened that T30.....I had a Wagner installed and due to the extra thickness of the Intercooler the screwed eventually wore through the condenser - make sure you check that T30 or use a thick washer or like me you'll end up having to replace the condenser. Ugh. Great vid though!!

[@drouxbag94]

These golfs have sensors that give you a pretty good heads up to help prevent but yes that would really suck if it happened 😂😂

Energy most go somewhere, the key is to prevent it from compromising the frame cabin, plastic parts absorb the impact, the reason many new cars when on impact look like an accordion, but the frame of the vehicle is mostly intact.

I feel an upgraded intercooler is something anyone should consider doesn't have to be stage 2 or up. An upgraded one just performs better making your car perform better making it last longer without possible issues.

[@HumbleMechanic]

I pretty much agree

[@joehaas6366]

Charles, I have the CSF aftermarket radiator. Now, I’m no mechanic, nor am I overly savvy at wrenching, but I’d love to be able to do the install myself. Could I follow the steps in this video to do a radiator swap? It seems like I can but I just wanted to confirm with you. Thanks man.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thank you!

[@kscuz2848]

Well done Charles. Thank you for making this video. Aside from the front grill and bumper cover, are there any other differences between the 7 and 7.5 when it comes to disassembly or should this be pretty universal for the Rs? I'm also curious whether or not they are the same where the bumper cover meets the quarter panel.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Should be basically the same. Even the GTI should be the same

[@Abubububu]

Awesome video 👍 Looking forward to the software episode. Off topic question... When i get a chip on the hood, do i ONLY use the paint or do i mix 50/50 with clearcoat? Thnx in advance!

[@nathanliberty5945]

I feel like it would be easier going from the front and not having to remove the radiator

[@thedubdude7720]

Instead of taking the wheels of why no just turn the wheels? That's how I have done it on other cars but my clearances may have been greater.

[@HumbleMechanic]

Totally can do that. If you have the short t25 you don’t even have to turn the wheel.

[@SavageOutlaw17]

Do you have to worry about the cable in the grille if you have only the autonomous emergency braking?

The stock IC looks the same like mine 2003 Touran TDI. VW don't changes to many things 😂

[@2of2DCH]

Interesting install method. Nice call out on keepin the engine bay grill screws separate since they are shiny. I had to dig thru mine to find them. ha For the dang IC clips pushing on them through the hole....bloody brilliant! So obvious. My method was to buy 2 spares on eBay, and not care if they were destroyed. Think one popped off easy and the other I used side cutters on the prongs. lol Edit: The FDS system is also pretty slick too. The fact that it comes with a meth bung and hoses makes it a solid deal.

Is it just me, or is it crazy the amount of plastic clips in cars today, knowing that plastic clips always break on stuff especially with age. I totally get that most people dont expect to get a long time out of their cars, but i have a 20 year old e46 that is in great shape. The only problem is where there is plastic clips, which isnt really that many in comparison, but had it been a screw holding the plastic, handled with care would be easy to not have any broken pieces.

[@HumbleMechanic]

[@silentvalue]

I've been running an APR stg 2 high torque setup and have everything except an intercooler upgrade. Living in Texas during the summer makes me want to do this just because of the climate over 7-8 months out of the year even if I don't drive the car hard a lot. After getting some finally colder outside temps (30's), I can tell the car loses a large amount of torque due to heat soak in those hotter months. This seems like an install I'd casually say...eh i could do it, but would much rather pay one of the local vw/audi shops instead. I liked the caution of not accidentally stabbing the condenser with the screwdriver. Little heads up like that are the best bc dumb mistakes are the worst.

[@jeffmcconnell6214]

I was thinking the exact same thing, living in Houston. The car just feels so much better now that we have pleasant temps, this might be worth it before next summer. And yeah, pretty sure i'm going to be giving a local shop some business for this one.
