The stock front mount intercooler isn't able to effectively cool the intake charge at that performance level, allowing temperatures to rise and hurt performance as rpms increase. With this in mind, AWE set out to develop the Q5 Front Mount Intercooler in order to bring intake temperatures back under control. AWE employed CAD modeling software to design an intercooler that uses an end tank \/ core package significanty larger than stock while striving to re-use the robust factory hoses and clamps to keep costs down. This end tank design is a proven winner and is in use on multiple platforms. While AWE knew this engine ran very hot, and could really benefit from improved intercooling, the test results were shocking. The AWE FMIC was able to reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) by a maximum of 31 degrees F over stock, a difference of nearly 25%! The massive drop in IATs will yield even better performance in warmer climates and higher power applications. Whether you are simply running enhanced software, or are planning on a larger turbo upgrade for your car, the AWE intercooler solves all heat related issues that come with more turbo boost. Keeping your intake air temperatures low results in more power, better engine output stability when outside temps climb, and the safety margin needed when pushing the limit. Currently not available for vehicles equipped with Audi Drive Select. Please note, the AWE Performance Front Mounted Intercooler is for racing use only.","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67596066160808,"sku":"HHCZ_4510-11024","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/2344\/1064\/files\/25bcdd7c3bc61240bffea54d49b96d5f.jpg?v=1790971646"},{"product_id":"awe-performance-intercooler-kit-for-audi-2-7t-w-carbon-fiber-shrouds","title":"AWE Performance Intercooler Kit for Audi 2.7T - w\/ Carbon Fiber Shrouds","description":"Presenting the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit. Cast End Tanks. Carbon Fiber Shrouds. Backed by AWE R\u0026amp;D. If you’re serious about consistent and proven power, read on. The stock 2.7T intercoolers become a power handicap at high boost levels, which is not surprising considering that the stock 2.7T boost level is just 8-9 psi. Every performance software on the market, let alone an upgraded turbo kit, runs almost double this boost level. This results in tangible power losses, especially when outside temperatures rise. When investigating intercoolers, ask for data that demonstrates how the kit will perform at 20psi boost levels, which is the norm for most current 2.7T turbo kits. If you are running less boost than this, then you can rest assured that there is sufficient headroom in the design should you decide to upgrade turbos one day. The tested AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit design uses a closely stacked bar and plate type core, to minimize pressure drops while maximizing heat transfer. The AWE design target was to exceed the cooling and flow capabilities of Audi RS4 intercoolers -- and through this proven design, AWE has accomplished this. In summary, the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler equals the RS4 intercooler flow rates, and definitively conquers the RS4 intercooler temperature drops. The construction of the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit is of the highest quality - Efficient cast end tanks are used to ensure maximum flow, and each intercooler assembly is pressure checked before it leaves our manufacturing facility. And in 2012, AWE introduced carbon fiber shrouds to the mix, producing a lighter, and more aesthetically appealing kit as well. The bulk of the AWE side mount intercooler testing was conducted on S4s with the previously available AWE RSK04 kit installed. This is important to consider, given that as boost rises, so will boost drop due to core restriction. Thus, an intercooler can perform well at relatively low boost levels but can begin to perform worse than stock if the boost drop is high enough to negate any gains seen from temperature drops. Not only did AWE want the Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit to be clearly superior to the RS4 unit performance, but AWE also ensured that it would require very little modification to the US spec Audi 2.7T models during fitment. The RS4 intercooler units are made to fit the Europe only RS4 and mating them to a US spec 2.7T model requires significant cutting of both the intercoolers and the vehicle itself. The AWE design can be fitted in less than half the time of the typical RS4 kit. This means paying less for labor charges. Since RS4 units were never intended to be used on the US S4 chassis, extensive modifying or tweaking of the areas around the intercoolers is needed to force fitment. The AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit was designed and built to fit the US S4 chassis, resulting in a much better, cleaner fit with very little modification required. Some key fitment detail differences between the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit and the RS4 \"kits:\" 100% coverage of the core face with AWE Carbon Fiber air ducts. RS4 kits leave gaps around face that lets cooling air escape. No modification needed to the engine belly tray with our design. Cores are secure and supported. Please note, the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit is for racing use only. ** NOTE: In order to fit A6 or allroad models, minimal trimming of the bumper and shrouds is necessary.","brand":"AWE Tuning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67596066357416,"sku":"HHCZ_4510-11040","price":975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/2344\/1064\/files\/c198057d58581d62b4fd996bb5398c56.jpg?v=1790971665"},{"product_id":"awe-carbon-fiber-shrouds-for-audi-2-7t-shrouds-only-set-of-two","title":"AWE Carbon Fiber Shrouds for Audi 2.7T - Shrouds Only, Set of Two","description":"The AWE carbon fiber shrouds are now available independently, should you already have the AWE Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Set and like to upgrade your shrouds to carbon fiber.

Cast End Tanks. Drop in Intake Air Temperature. Backed by AWE R\u0026amp;D. If you're serious about consistent and proven power, read on. Behind the scenes: During development of AWE’s (now discontinued) 750R Turbo Kit for the 997.2TT, we experienced excessively high intake air temperatures. Since an OEM option was not available, and our power goals were well north of 700hp, we undertook the task to construct a completely new intercooler system. Once the end tanks were designed, then cast, they were then machined on our CNC mill, welded to specially designed cores, power tested, and refined on our AWD dyno. Size Matters: Compared to stock, the AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercoolers’ cores are 37% larger (422 cubic inches vs 308 cubic inches). In contrast to the stock cores, AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercoolers are a high flow bar and plate style and are built to our charge row and fin count specs. These specifications resulted in improved intake temperatures and improved drop pressure resistance through the core. Considering that extremely little trimming is involved to fit such effective units to the car, this is a huge engineering feat. In addition to the superior core and end tank design, the AWE Porsche 997.2TT Performance Intercooler kit also features 6-ply silicone hoses with gentle curves to prevent bursting under pressure. They are attached to the intake and turbos with stainless steel high force t-bolt clamps, and a molded lip is integrated where the hoses meet the turbos to imitate the factory locking mechanism. Further, our hoses use a Nomex braiding for superior strength, instead of more common polyester. The very best materials and industry leading engineering separate this kit from all others on the market. Whether you are simply running enhanced software, or are planning on a larger turbo upgrade for your car, the AWE Porsche 997.2 Performance Intercoolers are exactly what you need to solve all heat related issues that come with more turbo boost.
