Upgraded Intercooler Audi C7 C7.5 4.0T V8 TFSI S6 S7 RS6 RS7 S8 A8 Charge Cooler Core

Audi-25

How do you know the 4.0T in your S6, RS6, or S8 needs an intercooler upgrade? Three signs, in order of how often we hear them. First, the car pulls hard once and feels softer on every pull after that -- classic heat soak. Second, data logging shows intake air temperature climbing 30-40 degrees above ambient during a single hard run. Third, you have already tuned the car, or plan to, and the factory charge cooler has become the component holding the calibration back. If any of those describe your car, this Upgraded Intercooler is the fix.

The unit replaces the factory charge cooling element in the 4.0 TFSI's V-mounted cooling system, increasing core capacity so the system absorbs more heat before temperatures climb. That capacity is what separates a car that performs on the first pull from one that performs on every pull -- and it is the foundation you build on if more boost is coming later. Fitting a larger intercooler without touching the calibration is safe and reversible; fitting more boost without fixing the cooling is how engines get hurt.

The kit is engineered as a direct replacement: factory mounting brackets, factory coolant connections, factory clearances, no cutting, no fabrication. Full aluminum construction with TIG-welded end tanks and a bar-and-plate core, pressure-tested at the factory before shipment. Covers C7 and C7.5 -- S6, S7, RS6, RS7 -- plus S8 and A8 with the 4.0T V8. Polished, black, or custom finish; OEM and private-label programs available. That's Fupower. Custom everything.
