Wagner Tuning 2012+ Audi RS3 8V/2014+ Audi TTRS 8S EVO1 Competition Intercooler Kit

If you're pushing your Audi RS3 or TTRS to its limits, especially with performance tuning, managing intake air temperature is critical. This Wagner Tuning EVO1 Competition Intercooler Kit is designed to tackle that challenge head-on. It replaces the factory intercooler with a much larger, more efficient unit, helping to keep your engine's air charge cooler and denser. Cooler air means more oxygen for combustion, which translates directly into more power and better throttle response, especially when you're running higher boost levels or extended periods of hard driving.

Wagner Tuning built this intercooler with a focus on performance and durability. The core features a high-density, 76mm thick fin structure that offers a significant increase in surface area compared to the stock intercooler. This allows for much more effective heat dissipation. The end tanks are made from cast aluminum, which are then TIG-welded to the core for a solid, leak-free connection. This robust construction is essential for handling the increased pressures and temperatures found in tuned performance vehicles. The kit includes all the necessary piping, silicone couplers, and mounting hardware, designed to fit the specific contours of the 2012+ Audi RS3 8V and 2014+ Audi TTRS 8S chassis, making installation as straightforward as possible for a component of this nature.

This intercooler is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to extract more performance from their turbocharged Audi. By significantly reducing intake air temperatures, it helps prevent heat soak and allows the engine's computer to maintain optimal ignition timing and fuel delivery, preserving power output. While installation requires some mechanical aptitude, the included components and design aim for a direct fit, minimizing the need for custom fabrication. Keep in mind this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
