Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to modify my bumper or radiator support to install this?
No. This is a direct OEM replacement -- no bumper, radiator support, or other trimming is required.

Will this fit without the charge pipe kit?
Yes, this intercooler installs and functions on its own. The charge pipe kit is a separate, matching upgrade for the same platform.

Is this a full intercooler or just a core?
It's a complete direct-fit intercooler assembly with its own end tanks, ready to bolt into the factory location.

What software does this pair with?
It's built to support significantly more airflow than the factory unit, making it a fit for owners running or planning to run Unitronic ECU software on the Tiguan.

Who do I contact with fitment questions?
Contact your BMP Tuning rep if you're unsure this matches your Tiguan's engine and model year.
