MK7 GTI and Golf R Front Mount Intercoolers

Intercooler Installation
Installing a new intercooler on your MK7 can be a pretty big job. The front bumper, front crash bar, condenser and radiator support must be removed to make this happen. We made a DIY (video below) which is a step by step on how to remove the intercooler on a MK7 GTI. Please note while this video was done on a GTI we suspect the Golf R and Golf both have an almost identical process to remove and replace the intercooler.
