Wagner Tuning EVO 2 Intercooler — VW Mk7 Golf R / S3 8V
Verified fit
2015–2019 Volkswagen Golf R Mk7 / Mk7.5 · 2015–2019 Audi S3 8V · 2018–2020 Audi TTRS / RS3 8V
Description
Wagner's EVO 2 core for the Mk7 Golf R / Audi S3 8V is a 132%-volume upgrade over OE in a chassis that desperately needs it on stock fuel. Bar-and-plate construction, cast end-tanks, and a direct-fit bracket package that bolts to OE crash-bar mounting points.
If you're staying stock-turbo, you'll see a 6–10°C IAT reduction at WOT on a 90°F day, with no measurable pressure drop. On a Stage 2 IS38 hybrid, the EVO 2 is the difference between losing timing on the third pull and holding the tune all afternoon.
