Wagner Tuning Audi S4 B5/A6 2.7T Competition Intercooler Kit w/o Carbon Air Shroud

This is the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit for the Audi S4 B5 and A6 with the 2.7T engine. This kit is designed to replace the factory intercoolers, which can become a bottleneck for airflow as engine power increases. By using a larger, more efficient core, this intercooler helps to lower intake air temperatures, which is crucial for maintaining engine performance and preventing detonation, especially on modified vehicles. It's a substantial upgrade for anyone looking to get the most out of their 2.7T engine.

Wagner Tuning uses a high-performance bar-and-plate intercooler core, known for its excellent heat dissipation capabilities. The end tanks are made from cast aluminum and are designed for optimal airflow into and out of the core. This kit is a direct replacement for the stock intercoolers, meaning it bolts up without needing significant modifications, though some adjustments to piping might be necessary depending on your specific setup. The kit includes all the necessary hardware for installation, making it a comprehensive solution for improving your engine's breathing. This particular version does not include the carbon fiber air shroud, which is sold separately.

When installing this intercooler kit, pay close attention to how the new piping routes to ensure there are no kinks or restrictions. Proper fitment of the intercooler itself is usually straightforward, but ensuring all connections are secure will prevent boost leaks. Lower intake air temperatures mean your engine's computer can more effectively manage ignition timing and fuel delivery, leading to more consistent power output, especially during prolonged periods of hard driving or in warmer climates. This is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to push their 2.7T engines further.
