Description
xDuring development of the AWE 2.0T Q5 exhaust systems with performance software, high intake air temperatures were present The stock front mount intercooler isn't able to effectively cool the intake charge at that performance level, allowing temperatures to rise and hurt performance as rpms increase.
With this in mind, AWE set out to develop the Q5 Front Mount Intercooler in order to bring intake temperatures back under control AWE employed CAD modeling software to design an intercooler that uses an end tank / core package significanty larger than stock while striving to re-use the robust factory hoses and clamps to keep costs down.
This end tank design is a proven winner and is in use on multiple platforms While AWE knew this engine ran very hot, and could really benefit from improved intercooling, the test results were shocking.
The AWE FMIC was able to reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) by a maximum of 31 degrees F over stock, a difference of nearly 25%! The massive drop in IATs will yield even better performance in warmer climates and higher power applications Whether you are simply running enhanced software, or are planning on a larger turbo upgrade for your car, the AWE intercooler solves all heat related issues that come with more turbo boost.
Keeping your intake air temperatures low results in more power, better engine output stability when outside temps climb, and the safety margin needed when pushing the limit Currently not available for vehicles equipped with Audi Drive Select.
Please note, the AWE Performance Front Mounted Intercooler is for racing use only..
