The VW Golf is one of the most popular vehicles in the world today. It has won countless awards, sold more than 35 million units worldwide and still comes highly recommended by drivers worldwide. Apart from it’s recognisable shape, drivers are particularly interested with the performance aspect. Not only are they a great car to drive from factory but, they also have massive tuning capabilities – especially with the the R models.

One of these many tuning capabilities is an intercooler upgrade. The idea behind installing an intercooler system is to reduce the heat produced and get more air into the engine, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving performance. Which is exactly what TR Hamza did recently. After installing a DO88 intercooler to his stage 1 Golf R, he showed gains of 20hp+ which, all-in-all saw a total power output of 420ps with the stock exhaust.
