Wagner Tuning Audi RS6 C8 4.0TT Competition Intercooler Kit w/o Parking Heater

This is the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit for the Audi RS6 C8 with the 4.0TT engine, specifically the version without the parking heater. If you're pushing your RS6 hard, especially with performance tuning, keeping intake air temperatures down is crucial for making consistent power. Stock intercoolers can struggle to keep up when the engine is working overtime, leading to heat soak and a drop in performance. This kit is designed to replace the factory units with a much larger, more efficient core that can handle the demands of a high-performance vehicle.

Wagner Tuning built this kit using a high-performance bar-and-plate intercooler core. This type of core offers a larger surface area and greater internal volume compared to the stock tube-and-fin design, allowing for significantly better heat dissipation. The end tanks are made from cast aluminum and are designed to optimize airflow into and through the intercooler core. The kit includes all the necessary mounting hardware and silicone hoses needed for installation, making it a comprehensive upgrade. The goal here is to reduce charge air temperatures, which helps the engine's computer keep ignition timing advanced and boost levels stable, ultimately leading to more reliable power output, especially during repeated acceleration or track use.

Because this kit is designed for the RS6 C8 without the parking heater, ensure your vehicle configuration matches before purchasing. It's a direct replacement for the factory intercoolers, meaning no cutting or major modifications are typically required for installation, though professional installation is recommended given the complexity of accessing the factory units. This kit is a popular choice for RS6 owners looking to maximize their engine's performance potential and ensure consistent power delivery under demanding conditions.
