ARM Competition FMIC for Mk6 VW

Overview

The ARM MK6 Competition FMIC upgrade is the ultimate cooling solution for your big turbo MK6 build. Rated to be efficient up to 800HP with it's 793 cubic inches, the ARM MK6 Competition FMIC can handle anything you can throw at it. Unlike OEM-location intercoolers, this is a true front mount design where the intercooler is placed first in line of airflow at the front of the radiator stack, giving it access to the coolest air available. Because of its front-mount design, it does not require the removal of your radiator assembly, making the installation easier than OEM-location intercooler upgrades for the MK6.

WARNING: The ARM MK6 Competition FMIC is designed for big turbo builds only! We recommend at least a K04 upgrade as the minimum size turbo for this FMIC. The ARM MK6 Competition FMIC can be installed on stock turbo vehicles if you plan to upgrade to a larger turbo in the future, but you will experience more turbo lag than necessary in the interim. If you plan to run the stock K03 turbo on your MK6, we strongly recommend the street version of the ARM MK6 FMIC, which is the perfect size for K03 builds.

The ARM MK6 Competition FMIC positions the intercooler directly behind the lower grille of the GTI's front bumper where it is exposed to the coolest air for the best efficiency. The ARM MK6 Competition FMIC does away with the OEM intercooler entirely. The OEM intercooler can be left in place disconnected, or completely removed with our OEM Intercooler Delete Kit. Removal of the OEM intercooler allows for better airflow through the radiator bundle and also reduces some weight.

Installation

Due to the position of the ARM MK6 Competition FMIC, installation is significantly easier than OEM-location intercoolers, as it does not require disassembly of the radiator stack. Installing the ARM Competition FMIC is almost exactly the same as the standard ARM MK6 FMIC kit, with the addition of some trimming to accommodate the larger Competition core.
