The Wagner Competition intercooler kit has been developed for the Audi A4 B8.5 and A5 B8.5 with the 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TFSI engine and drastically improves cooling performance, minimizes back pressure, and provides noticeably more cool, dense air for the engine. Installation is a plug-and-play 1:1 replacement of the original intercooler.
With net dimensions of 610 mm x 440 mm x 65 mm and a total volume of 17,446 liters, this intercooler offers a 178% larger intake surface area and 158% more charge air volume than the standard cooler. At its heart is a high-quality Competition mesh; the CAD-optimized with CFD simulations cast aluminum End boxes maximize internal airflow for excellent cooling with minimal back pressure. Weighing only 9.1 kg, the cooler is lightweight yet extremely robust and has been tested for pressure stability up to 6 bar. A special anti-corrosion coating with excellent heat-conducting properties guarantees long-lasting and optimal cooling. The kit fits the A4 B8.5 1.8/2.0 TFSI (2013-2015), A4 B8.5 Allroad 2.0 TFSI (2013-2015), A5 B8.5 1.8/2.0 TFSI (from 2013), and A5 B8.5 Sportback 1.8/2.0 TFSI (from 2013). For vehicles with dynamic steering, the extra cooling hose must be relocated.
