2017 Golf GTI TCR - Engine bay

[TecklenburgVW]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... What differences can you make out from a standard Mk7 engine bay?

Intake = big!

The way the IC is mounted looks like my buddies RX-7. Pretty nice! Also, I like the intake! Looks like removing the battery from the engine bay freed up a lot of room too.

Surprisingly similar, PCV looks different

Agreed, the PCV setup is unique.

Volkswagen Racingline setup a bit similar.

Thank you for the new angle.

Look at that master cylinder brake reservoir... three distinct areas to fill.

In addition, the routing of the intake... What brand of components are they using to create that bespoke intake system?

Remember you'd also need the vented hood to make use of that IC position.

two more engine bay pics:

The Audi RS3 LMS TCR car uses the same EA888 4-pot due to rules (2-litre only).

Any idea on what brand of intercooler?

Probably a custom built.

That's funny, I could get that kit... I am sponsored by SPEEDMOB which is the US distributor for BMC filters. But is it for the street car too?! https://www.speedmob.com

I imagine with the right tubing you would be able to make it fit. Basically same way people put CAI kits on cars that aren't as supported.
