I will definitely reach out once we get closer to the dyno day! We'd prefer something with a manual, but we more prefer to test on something that's tuned and putting down a lot of power.
Also, just wanted to bump this and let you guys know we're still plugging along with this intercooler kit! We're currently in search of a Golf R to check our fitment prototype. If anyone is interested in the area, shoot me a PM!

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to bump this thread to let you know that testing is starting very soon! We found a Golf 7R owner in the area who was willing to let us run his vehicle on the dyno, so piping tests start on Friday!

Hey Guys,
Just bumping it up for a little teaser!
We're working on test fitting our fitment prototype, and on to the dyno for testing our piping after that!
Stay tuned!

Hey Guys,
Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Patties day! I come to you today with the next installment of our intercooler development. As always, for the full write up, make sure to head over to our Engineering Blog!
Bigger is better has long since been an unofficial mantra of the automotive world. To go faster or further, you have to go bigger. Either by way of more cylinders, bigger turbos, thicker sway bars, the increase in size helps quench the thirst for speed. The Golf GTI and all its subsequent variants have been showing us since 1974 that sometimes smaller can be just as good, and plenty of speed and practicality can come in a condensed package. The same can be said for our intercooler design for the latest generation of VW’s compact chassis. It’s not the size that matters, but rather the innovation packed inside.
When I say the innovation is packed inside, I really mean it. Under the hood of the MK7 is so densely packed that devising a new and improved intercooler is a bit of a challenge. Luckily, our engineer is up to the challenge.
What makes this project especially challenging is the fact that the intercooler is the load-bearing meat in an intercooler sandwich, with no clear cut way to relocate the new core.
Even with the limited build envelope, our engineer was still able to give the new design a bit of a volume boost. But much like how the GTI relies on innovation, the performance of our intercooler will rely on the new core construction and end tank design. Make sure to head over to the blog for the full story!
Also feel free to reach out with and questions or concerns you might have!

Good stuff; I especially like the article from here: https://www.mishimoto.com/engineering/2018/02/intercooler-pipe-r-d-vw-gti-2015/
I didn't realize that VW embedded an air straightener in the charge piping.
