Wagner Tuning Audi S3 8L Performance Intercooler Kit

This is the Wagner Tuning performance intercooler kit specifically for the Audi S3 8L model. If you're looking to get more out of your turbocharged engine, especially if you've made other modifications like an ECU tune or a larger turbo, this intercooler is a solid upgrade. It replaces the factory intercooler with a much larger, more efficient unit designed to cool the air charge coming from your turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler air means denser air, and denser air allows your engine to make more power, more reliably.

Wagner Tuning builds these kits with a focus on performance and fitment. The core itself is a high-quality bar-and-plate design, which offers a lot of surface area for heat dissipation. This means it can handle the heat generated by aggressive driving or sustained high boost much better than the stock intercooler. The end tanks are made from cast aluminum and are designed to integrate smoothly with the factory or aftermarket piping. This kit includes everything you need for installation, including the intercooler core, mounting brackets, and necessary hardware. The goal here is to reduce intake air temperatures significantly, which helps prevent engine knock and allows the ECU to maintain optimal ignition timing for improved performance and engine longevity.

Because this is a performance part designed for increased airflow and cooling, it's often paired with other engine modifications. While it's designed as a direct replacement for the stock intercooler, you'll want to ensure your vehicle's cooling system is in good shape. This kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
