do88 Intercooler Audi A3 (8V) RS3

Engineered as a direct OEM replacement, this kit features a sizeable 97 mm core from Garrett Motorsport, under all conditions rated to 1000 HP! Experience a significant increase of power and torque, thanks to maximized airflow and remarkably cooler intake temperatures. 

The biggest obstacle when designing a performance intercooler for the RS3, is the OEM crash bar, which often limits both the physical size of the core and blocks the ambient airflow to the intercooler. To avoid any such compromise, a new chromoly steel crash bar with Ø 40mm (1 5/8”) tubing is included. It installs just like the OEM unit, but allows unrestricted ambient airflow and the provides better space for a bigger core. The mounting points for your ACC ,Adaptive Cruise Control, radar sensor and ambient temperature sensor are kept the same. Naturally, do88 has not conducted a formal crash test, so we recommend this kit only for track use.

• Increased core volume: 118% larger than OEM. 18102cm3 compared to OEM 8307cm3.
• Increased active cooling area: 80% larger cooling area, 1866 cm2 compared to OEM 1038 cm2.
• Lower inlet air temperature under identical conditions: 23°C compared to OEM 55°C. An impressive 32°C lower! 
• Increased airflow, lower pressure drop: @ 0,125 bar / 1,81 psi pressure drop: 526 CFM (432 CFM), 22% higher! 
• High density, motorsport-grade Bar&Plate core from Garrett, capable of handling 1000hp.
• Unique 3D, free form-designed cast end tanks.
• Easy installation, no modifications needed (except on TTRS).
• Chromoly crash beam that doesn´t obstruct ambient airflow.
