This intercooler has over 64% more core volume than its restrictive stock counterpart. The AMS Golf R intercooler is the ultimate choice to keep your “Hot Hatch” cool!

  • CARB Executive Order D-825-3 for 50 State Usage
  • 22 fins per inch for the perfect balance of performance and efficiency
  • Hand TIG welded in a jig for a perfect fit and pressure tested to 50 psi
  • high efficiency tube and fin core
  • 67% thicker 50mm compared to 30mm
  • 64% larger core volume
  • CFD designed directional vane inlet tank for more even air dispersal over the core
  • Golf R AMS FMIC
  • Unmatched Construction

Our Engineering Team utilized Solidworks© (3D software) to blueprint the inlet and outlets with smooth features and geometry to optimize flow. The inlet side of the core has been design using CFD software with directional vanes to ensure even airflow and pressure spread across the height of the core. They then 3D printed the end tanks to ensure an OEM level of fitment before casting the first article. The AMS Golf R Intercooler features a high quality, high efficiency, tube and fin core imported from the UK. Some of our competitor’s cores are substandard pieces that require user modification to work with both types of stock radiators and cannot be easily put back to stock. By casting the AMS VW MK 7 Golf R Intercooler endtanks in aluminum we were not limited by the design constraints of hand fabricated construction.

The Pinnacle of Performance
The AMS MK7 Golf R Intercooler upgrade kit uses the best performing core available. The fin and tube style core is over 16″ tall, more than 24″ wide, and features a 2.25″ thick assembly! Our Golf R intercooler is an amazing 67% thicker (50mm vs 30mm) than the stock piece. The AMS MKVII Golf R Intercooler retains the factory crash beam, uses all factory mounting points and requires no cutting or trimming! The intercooler in the Golf R is the backbone for the entire cooling system. The car’s A/C condenser and radiator attach to either side of the intercooler so engineering this correctly is extremely critical for ultimate performance, fit, and durability.

Ultimate Efficiency

The AMS Performance VW MK7 Golf R Intercooler and its high efficiency tube and fin core utilizes 22 fins per inch. The AMS tube and fin core utilizes both internal and external formed/louvered fins which allow for smooth, unobstructed flow while maintaining a huge surface area with spectacular heat transfer capabilities. The results of our testing prove that our intercooler is the perfect balance of performance and efficiency for your Golf R. With its high degree of cooling the intake charge will remain cool even in the toughest of conditions. You will have piece of mind that your Golf R is running at its peak no matter if you are hot lapping at the track or driving spiritedly through your favorite winding back road.


Benefits of Tube & Fin Construction For Golf R Intercooler

  • Lighter Weight
  • Lower Pressure drop across core
  • Rounded extruded tubes allow for a more efficient cold flow across the core resulting in less efficiency loss for the radiator hidden behind.
  • Quality tube a fin cores made by reputable motorsports manufacturers feature exterior and interior formed LOUVERED fins designed to minimally restrict flow while having huge amounts of surface area to assist in the transfer of heat.
  • Densely packed interior LOUVERED fins provide low pressure drop across the core while still providing excellent cooling properties.
  • Due to the natural shape of a tube and fin core, contact between the factory AC Condenser and Radiator is minimized, eliminating conductive heat transfer between all three components.
  • Core manufactured in Europe by a motorsports manufacturer.
  • Same type of core used in almost all forms of motorsports including all F1/Indy car as well as trusted by all OEM manufacturers.


The Difference Is In The Details

Each AMS Intercooler is hand TIG welded in house utilizing a jig for a perfect fit and pressure tested to 50 psi to ensure the highest AMS levels of performance. With the AMS Golf R Intercooler, you have the flexibility to use this intercooler anywhere from near stock or Stage 1 power levels, all the way up to 800 HP!

Just what I expected
Been using these for about a month now. I will say they do scratch very easily. My knives suck, and first use you can see every scratch. I don’t really mind because I feel like that’s expected with wooden cutting boards. They look pretty, sit pretty, and haven’t split or warped on me yet. They have a good weight to them as well. I imagine you will have some upkeep such as using oil/board butter but I haven’t gotten to that point yet.

Very nice boards
Great cutting boards. Have handled alot of abuse. The fact that you get 3 sizes is a plus and may be the best part is the golder for them so they can sit on your kitchen counter amd enjoy their beauty when not using them. Do not put them in the dishwasher

Beautiful Acacia Boards That Actually Feel Premium and Thoughtfully Made
I’ve gone through a lot of wooden cutting boards over the years, and these immediately stood out as feeling much higher quality than most sets in this price range. The acacia wood has a really rich, attractive grain pattern and the boards arrived smooth, solid, and well finished with no rough spots, cracks, or cheap “composite wood” feel. What initially caught my attention was the fact that these are marketed as non-toxic and free from mineral oil. Most people don’t think much about what wooden kitchen products are treated with, but I appreciated that these use a natural blend instead of petroleum-based mineral oil. The boards had a very clean, natural wood smell out of the box instead of that chemical/oily smell some cheaper boards have. The three-size setup is honestly perfect for daily kitchen use. I find myself constantly rotating between them: the large board for meal prep and meats the medium board for vegetables the small one for fruit, cheese, garlic, herbs, etc. The engraved food icons are also a surprisingly nice touch because they help keep things organized and reduce cross contamination without looking tacky. A few other things I really liked: They’re lightweight enough to move around easily but still feel sturdy - The wood is gentle on knives - The groove catches juices well - They look nice enough to double as serving boards - Packaging was clean and plastic-free/minimal Like any real wood cutting board, you absolutely need to: - hand wash only - dry them after use - occasionally recondition the wood If you expect dishwasher-safe convenience, these probably aren’t for you. But if you want attractive, natural wood boards that feel healthier and more intentional than cheap plastic boards, these are excellent. Overall, these feel like a genuinely thoughtful kitchen product rather than generic mass-produced boards with a trendy “eco” label slapped on them. Very happy with them so far.

Beautiful in appearance and quality
I've been using these for several months and I love them. They're sturdy and great quality, not to mention so beautiful. They do of course scratch up as you use your knife on them which is to be expected with wood but I plan to give them a little sanding soon and an oiling with the oil they provided. I would definitely recommend.
