The factory radiator equipped on most 2.0T MQB Audi and VW vehicles was designed to work well on the street. However, if you were to take one of those vehicles to a track day you'll quickly see just how inefficient the factory radiator is.
Fortunately, CSF has track day and racing enthusiasts covered with their triple pass engine radiator. Their highly efficient, all aluminum design means that your temps will be consistently lower when pushing your car hard. If that wasn't enough, the CSF radiator is a true drop-in upgrade that fits just like the OEM radiator.
