Factory Intercooler Delete Kit • PQ35

The NEUSPEED Factory Intercooler Delete (FID) Kit is the ultimate efficiency solution for vehicles that have transitioned to a dedicated Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) system. In the factory configuration, the stock intercooler is sandwiched tightly between the radiator and the A/C condenser, creating a massive restriction. When a core-mounted FMIC bypasses this unit, the unused stock intercooler core simply sits as dead weight and an airflow blocker.

By removing the defunct factory core and installing the FID kit, you open up the front stack to allow direct, unhindered airflow. This drastically improves the cooling efficiency of your radiator and A/C condenser while shedding unnecessary front-end weight. Independent testing confirms that isolating your cooling stack via an FMIC and a delete kit yields significantly better thermal efficiency and produces more horsepower than leaving a restrictive core sandwiched in place.

Features

• Enhanced Cooling Stack Efficiency: Maximizes ambient airflow directly to the radiator and A/C condenser, dropping operating temperatures and improving A/C performance.
• Front-End Weight Savings: Safely eliminates the heavy, dead weight of the unused factory intercooler core from the vehicle's nose.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Fabricated from premium 1/8" aluminum plate with CNC-machined billet aluminum mounting tabs and finished in a rugged black hard-anodized coating.
• Robust Mounting Geometry: Equipped with zinc-plated steel threaded inserts to guarantee long-term thread durability and a strip-free installation.
• Direct Bolt-On Integration: Engineered as a complete bolt-on kit that replaces the structural support tabs of the factory intercooler to flawlessly hold the A/C condenser and coolant radiator using original factory core support mounting locations.
