- Since we have a full spread of bolt-on parts from @unitronic to install on our Golf R in our record-setting attempt, we figured we would break down this build even further and give in-depth how-to videos on how to install each of the components we will be using!
First, we have the Unitronic intercooler for the MK8 GTI and R! Hopefully this video gives you an insanely in-depth look at how to install an intercooler on your MK8 GTI or Golf R!

You did the whole Volkswagen community a huge favor by uploading this video. Wow that’s a pretty big job
Definitely harder than an intake :P
@@BMPTuning Yea no kidding
Such a great video! Used it today to install mine, took about 3 hours. Thanks for putting this together guys.
Loved my first R32 and always regretted seeing it…. so I Just bought a 2024 Golf R and started the process of choosing first mods. Thanks for a great video… new sub 👍
Appreciate that so much!! Congrats on the R man, its so much fun! Let us know if you need any help with anything :D
took many hours but I managed to get this install done with your help :) did end up with about 10 leftover t25s but she feels solid and is driving ok... I'll keep em handy
Haha happens to the best of us... Glad you were able to get it done though!
This is why I should have been patient. Great video and very informative
haha
I was on the fence about doing this. Looks like i am ordering an intercooler!
Awesome! Will ship it ASAP!
Awesome video very in-depth. I’ve been having a hard time finding a local shop that is willing and trustworthy enough for this install. Gives me a lot more confidence in the inevitable install I’ll have to do myself. I purchased the same Intercooler and a milltek downpipe from you guys. It’d be awesome if you guys could include in the video discription all the required tools for the job as well. Keep up the great content.
Ooo thats a good idea for next time, a little harder after the fact but maybe Ryan can write a list down from memory since he's done so many hah!
I went through the video to make a list for myself of all the tools he lists hopefully this helps others as well
-large channel lock pliers
-a lift or jack and jack stands
-lug wrench or sock for wheel removal
-t25 torx
-t30 torx
-7mm socket
-16mm sock with long 1/2 inch extension
-flat head screw driver
-small hose pick
Sounds about right!@@StephenD-wk2nq
Icing on the cake would be to put a list of tools needed and torque specs for things. Other then that thanks a bunch. Gonna tackle this on the weekend.
Yea we've heard that a couple of times and will prob do that in the future!
Master.
Let's Go! Great content! Ty!
Not as Great as the Stache though.. yet at least.
Ryan's stache is def. on point haha
@@BMPTuning Wait what I don't have a stache. I'm asian lol
Ryan is the name of the person you're talking about in the video haha@@ryebread716
@@BMPTuning OH my god lol My name is Ryan too! WTF weird.
Awesome vid! I bought me a unitronic intercooler for my mk8 R - one quesrion - i noticed the foam pieces were removed on the edges of the condensor but no footage of them going back? Do you discard them with the unitronic intercooler?
No we still used them!
Thanks!!
On the day I ordered an intercooler! Thats what im talking about!
WOOT now you have a guide!
For the life of me, I can’t remember where the 2 longer t30s and the two silver t30s go. Please help.
Start to finish what's the book hours on something like this?
We charge 4 hours of labor here!
$50 per hour? 😅
LOL, why is it so hard for manufacturers to make these things fit right? Having to add spring washers to make sure the radiator and the intercooler don't come apart is ridiculous. Not trying to just crap on Unitronic here because my Mishimoto on my Mk7.5 was the same way.
I think that they spend a lot of time trying to figure out what works best, while also keeping costs down enough to use it on multiple vehicles so customers dont take the full brunt of the R&D costs... If they can spread it across 3-4 models, they can make the item cheaper for customers.
Man why not just get a front mount and forget this madness
Because through testing its been proven on MQBs that direct fits have lower IATs ^_^
@@BMPTuning it’s such a mess to install 😮💨
@@BMPTuning I wish some manufacturers really show this ((testings)) i find it hard to believe that this ic hidden in there is better than one in front mount same size and design
Its not that hard, its just tedious :( @@TheCd5apple
Because FMICs are not the same size - there was independent testing done a few years ago.@@TheCd5apple
Omg it takes the whole entire front end to come apart just for a intercooler upgrade 😂 like wtf
Unfortunately haha
I now regret ordering this intercooler
Why?!@
Can i take my car to you
