Performance - Audi RS3 8P

With our extensive development, and the continuing review of our intercooler for the TTRS, we were very eager to use our wealth of knowledge to extract the best possible results with the RS3. Immediately we were able in increase the size of the core, allowing much more surface area and cooling efficiency than the stock core. Our intercooler now uses up all the space the Audi had failed to take advantage of. The core measures a massive 530x130x225mm, and is of bar and plate design. The end tanks are designed such that the standard boost hoses can be retained. To ensure that this monster is adequately supported we supply a genuine Audi crash bar, which we modify in house, which also eases the installation process. Total fitting time is only around 3 hours if you take your time, and can be fitted on a driveway if necessary. Rather than release this product immediately after development, we have taken our time with continued testing and tweaking, to ensure that we really have acheived the best possible. We have seen excellent results on both standard cars and those which have been remapped. In fact, on the standard car we had to repeat this several times because we just could not believe what we were achieving, and this presented us with a dilemma... we dont normally quote power figures as they can vary from car to car, dyno to dyno, and they are so variable with weather conditions, fuel used and even how much pressure you have in your tyres! However the gains were so good - on a standard car, with standard software, we saw peak gains of 40bhp in back to back testing. Does this mean that all cars fitted with this will get 40bhp ? Its impossible to say. We're merely including our results here as an indication of how well the core is working.     Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.

Despite this improvement, it fits neatly behind the original bumper and can be used with the original hoses.As with all AIRTEC products, the intercooler was tested back-to-back on the dyno aginist the OEM item. This showed a huge reduction in air charge temperatures over standard, as seen below:Rolling Road test results – Carried out at AmD Tuning on 11/04/2017Standard Intercooler:Run 1 – Into intercooler: 117 degrees – Out of intercooler: 69 degreesRun 2 – Into intercooler: 117 degrees – Out of intercooler: 68 degreesRun 3 – Into intercooler: 119 degrees – Out of intercooler: 78 degrees AIRTEC Intercooler:Run 1 – Into intercooler: 116 degrees – Out of intercooler: 36 degreesRun 2 – Into intercooler: 117 degrees – Out of intercooler: 36 degreesRun 3 – Into intercooler: 118 degrees – Out of intercooler: 37 degrees The comprehensive fitting kit includes all the correct fixtures and fittings, step-by-step instructions with pictures and should take around 3-4 hours to complete.The intercooler is available in Pro-Series Black finish, with or without the AIRTEC logo.
