Description
As part of our expanding Audi product range, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our RS6 C8 intercooler upgrades suitable for track or fast road use.
In order to ensure there is no noticeable loss in performance during extended periods of hard driving, we have developed larger capacity, freer-flowing intercoolers to replace the smaller and more restrictive OEM items.
The original twin intercoolers are mounted between the bumper and inner arch liners and utilise designated air guides on both the front and back to help direct air to and from the intercooler effectively. Wishing to keep these in place, we opted to concentrate on creating a new core design that was the same width and height but deeper to help increase cooling ability.
The result are direct replacement intercoolers that reuse all the original hoses, mounting points and air guides for simplicity but offer a huge 21% increase in overall capacity in comparison to the OEM intercoolers.
Together with our high-flow end tanks to ensure internal flow is directed correctly and efficiently, the AIRTEC Motorsport intercooler upgrades offer greater cooling efficiency and volume over standard.
The kit reuses all original fixings and includes detailed installation instructions for a simple and effective cooling solution.
TESTED
Data logging of the turbo outlet/pre-intercooler temperatures and the post intercooler air temperatures showed the AIRTEC Motorsport uprated intercoolers maintained a steady rate with no abnormal spikes, despite the turbo temperature seeing a dramatic rise of nearly 170% in a short amount of time.
In comparison, the original intercoolers were also logged and when the data overlaid, it highlighted they weren’t able to resist the temperature spike as well, seeing a rise of 60% over the AIRTEC intercoolers.
