This front-mounted intercooler dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), helping to prevent heat soak and sustain optimal engine performance during intense driving conditions. Its large core area provides significant cooling capacity, enabling more than double the factory horsepower levels while maintaining low pressure drop for maximum airflow efficiency. \u003cbr\u003eThe system features a simple plug-and-play installation process with no trimming or drilling required, making it suitable for both professional installers and enthusiasts. The core design, with staggered and louvered fins, is engineered for low turbulence and restriction, ensuring maximum flow and cooling efficiency. Its organically shaped end tanks promote airflow across the entire core surface, further enhancing thermal management and power output. \u003cbr\u003eConstructed with a bar-and-plate core, the intercooler offers massive frontal surface area and core volume, which translates into exceptional heat dissipation and consistent performance. Rigorous testing by APR engineers determined the optimal core style, fin density, and size, resulting in a highly effective cooling solution. The intercooler has been pressure tested to prevent boost leaks that could rob power, and it has been dyno-tested to provide approximately 26 AWHP over the factory system in Stage 1 configurations. \u003cbr\u003eDesigned with precision and durability in mind, the intercooler features smooth cast end tanks and laser-cut construction to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting performance. Please note that this system is intended for US-spec vehicles with specific crash bar setups and will not fit ROW vehicles with shorter crash bars without modifications. This upgrade is an excellent choice for those looking to increase horsepower, reduce heat soak, and improve overall engine efficiency in their Audi RS3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMassive front-mounted core for superior heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDramatically lowers intake air temperature (IAT)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides over double factory horsepower levels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSimple bolt-on installation with no trimming or drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow pressure drop for maximum airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEngineered for low turbulence and restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrganically shaped design promotes airflow across entire core\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePressure tested to prevent boost leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDyno-proven to increase approximately 26 AWHP\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstructed with bar-and-plate core and staggered, louvered fins\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMassive frontal surface area and core volume for enhanced cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for durability with smooth cast end tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOptimized for high-performance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitments:\u003cbr\u003e\n2017 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2018 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2019 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2020 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2022 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2023 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2024 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2025 Audi RS3 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2026 Audi RS3 Base\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAir Freight Prohibited: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot Carb Approved: true\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCarb Acknowledgement Required: true\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLtl Freight Required: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProp 65: Y\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePart Type: automotive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEpa: N\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegular Stock: t\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eUnits Per Sku: 1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"APR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50978800107772,"sku":"IC100024","price":1549.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/6518\/3740\/files\/ec39f49990d6b44dd3b49fae9a2c8af9L.jpg?v=1786680088","url":"https:\/\/diycustoms.store\/products\/apr-17-20-audi-rs3-2-5-tfsi-evo-intercooler-kit-front-mounted-performance-upgrade","provider":"diycustoms.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
