Wagner Tuning 08-15 Audi Q5 8R 2.0 TFSI Competition Intercooler Kit

This is the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit specifically for the 2008-2015 Audi Q5 with the 2.0 TFSI engine. If you're looking to get more out of your turbocharged Q5, especially if you've upgraded other components or plan to, a larger, more efficient intercooler is a critical piece of the puzzle. It helps cool the compressed air coming from your turbo before it enters the engine, which makes the air denser. Denser air means more oxygen, and more oxygen allows for a more complete combustion, leading to improved performance and potentially more power.

Wagner Tuning is known for their well-built intercooler systems, and this Competition kit is designed for serious performance. It features a large, high-performance core with a generous surface area and depth, allowing for significantly better heat dissipation compared to the factory unit. The end tanks are made from cast aluminum and are designed to optimize airflow into and out of the core, minimizing pressure drop. This kit includes all the necessary components for installation, such as aluminum piping and high-quality silicone couplers, making it a direct bolt-on replacement for your stock intercooler. The goal here is to reduce intake air temperatures, which helps prevent engine knock and allows your engine management system to maintain optimal boost and timing for better power delivery, especially under sustained load or in warmer climates.

Because this kit is designed for maximum airflow and cooling, it's a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to push their 2.0 TFSI engine further. Keep in mind that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding mounting and connecting all components.
