PROFILE

The ARM MK7 GTI Competition FMIC is one of the best upgrades for your GTI/Golf R.  Our MK7 Competition FMIC is a staggering 52% larger than our Standard MK7 FMIC and 99% larger than the OEM Intercooler. It is highly recommended to run this FMIC on a MK7 with an IS38 or larger turbocharger.

MK7 COMPETITION FMIC

The ARM MK7 GTI FMIC positions the intercooler in front of your radiator stack, the most efficient position to cool your Gen 3 EA888. This is where the intercooler can utilize the ambient air where it is coolest, before it passes through your other radiators and temperatures increase. This FMIC is a true front mount design that requires no cutting or drilling.  

MK7 GTI FMIC
This intercooler isn’t just bigger, it's designed with performance in mind be placing it directly in the path of fresh airflow. By upgrading to the ARM MK7 Competition Intercooler, you get 1,000 cubic inches of core volume to cool your IAT's, no matter how demanding the conditions. For drivers looking to push the limits of their MQB, this intercooler is the clear choice. When developing the ARM MK7 Competition FMIC, our goal was to make an FMIC that matches or outperforms OEM location intercoolers. In addition to top-tier cooling performance, the ARM MK7 Competition FMIC offers a significantly easier installation compared to the complicated process of installing an OEM location intercooler.

OPTIONAL CHARGE PIPING

Complete your FMIC with the ARM Upgraded Charge Piping Kit! This kit for the MQB platform improves airflow by completely replacing the restrictive 1.5" factory plastic piping to and from your intercooler with full 2.5" T6061 aluminum piping coated in a durable wrinkle black finish. 


LOWER IAT's

The ARM Competition FMIC offers an impressive 982 cubic inch core. This massive core size ensures optimal heat dissipation, significantly reducing intake air temperatures (IATs) to deliver cooler, denser air to your engine. With its massive surface area and high capacity design, this intercooler can easily handle the increased airflow demands of high boost, whether it's an IS38 or hybrid turbo setup.


CONSTRUCTION

The heart of the ARM MK7 GTI Competition FMIC is it's efficient bar and plate intercooler core measuring 26 x 9 x 4.2 inches.  Making the total intercooler volume 982 cubic inches. A staggering 52% larger than our Standard MK7 FMIC and a whopping 99% larger than the OEM intercooler which comes in at only 493 cubic inches. Combine the efficient positioning of the intercooler with our ultra-dense fin packs with a fin-density of 20 fins per inch.Making it capable of supporting some of the most demanding builds.

INSTALLATION

The ARM MK7 GTI Competition FMIC is one of the easiest intercooler upgrades to install for the MK7 GTI.  Like every intercooler upgrade for the MK7 platform, it does require the removal of your front bumper, but unlike stock-location intercooler upgrades it does not require any disassembling of the crash bar, radiator stack, or draining of the coolant.  The ARM Competition FMIC kit comes with MK7-specific mounting brackets to secure the FMIC without the need to cut or drill brackets into the crash bar.  The full installation of the ARM MK7 FMIC only takes about 2-3 hours, even for the novice mechanic.

BI-COOLER UPGRADE

If you're looking for the best cooling performance on your MK7, you will want to opt for the ARM Bi-Cooler Hose Upgrade.  The ARM Bi-Cooler Hose Upgrade allows you to utilize a stock location intercooler (OEM or upgraded stock location intercooler) in conjunction with the ARM MK7 Competition FMIC giving your MK7 improved cooling efficiency over the ARM MK7 Competition FMIC alone.  This is only recommended if you already have a turbo upgrade or plan on installing one in the near future.
