For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Intercooler System (IC100017) is a massive front-mounted upgrade designed to replace the small factory intercooler on the Audi B8/B8.5 A4 and A5. By dramatically reducing Intake Air Temperatures (IAT), this system allows the 1.8T and 2.0T engines to produce an additional 17 horsepower while virtually eliminating the power-robbing effects of heat soak. The system features a massive increase in cooling surface area (149% over stock) and core volume (124% over stock), making it a recommended upgrade for every stage of performance.
The core utilizes a bar-and-plate design with staggered and louvered fins, which provides highly effective cooling with very low pressure drop. The organically shaped cast end tanks ensure smooth airflow across the entire core without turbulence. Because it was designed using precision laser-scanning technology, the unit is a direct bolt-on replacement that requires no trimming or drilling of the vehicle's components.
Core Specification Comparison:
| Specification | Factory OEM | APR System | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontal Surface Area | 143.0 in² | 356.4 in² | +149% |
| Total Core Volume | 357.5 in³ | 801.9 in³ | +124% |
Features:
- Significant Power Gains: Recorded 17 HP increase over the factory system by delivering colder, denser air.
- Bar-and-Plate Core: Heavy-duty construction with optimized fin density for superior thermal management.
- Cast End Tanks: Smooth, non-restrictive internal transitions promote maximum airflow.
- Plug-and-Play Install: Once the bumper is removed, the intercooler installs in minutes using factory mounting locations.
- Pressure Tested: Each unit is pressure tested to ensure zero boost leaks.
- Advanced Engineering: Designed with 3D laser scanning for a perfect, factory-like fitment.
