Evolution Racewerks Sport Front Mount Intercooler B6 A4 1.8T (2002-2005)

Get rid of your A4's stock intercooler and replace it with an Evolution Racewerks Sport Front Mount Intercooler. The Evolution Racewerks Intercooler features a 18"x6.5"x3" core for greatly improved cooling over stock. This intercooler is great for anyone running either the stock turbo or any larger turbo (GT28R, GT28RS, K03, K04 etc.).

The Evolution Racewerks Sport Front Mount Intercooler features all the innovations found in their "infamous" Competition FMIC kit, however with a smaller intercooler core that is sized for stock K03/K04 upgrade turbos and can even support the GT28 variant turbos. It also retains the factory bumper reinforcement bar (no modifications needed) instead of having a replacement piece found in the Competition FMIC kit.

Features

• Large 18"x6.5"x3" (22"x6.5"x3" with end tanks)
• Rolled intercooler end tank design (welded and port & polished for improved flow)
• Your choice of polished or blank anodized finish
• All aluminum intercooler piping, replaces all OEM pieces with hard piping for improved throttle response
• Larger sized piping than OEM, optimized for big turbo applications
• Intercooler piping features beaded ends, silicone hump hoses, and T-bolt clamps
• Designed for OEM or OEM style diverter valves (Non OEM style diverter or blow off valve flange/positioning available)
• Smog pump relocation to provide for the least amount of intercooler piping bends
• Maintains all factory components (fog lights, smog pump, horn, etc.)
• Retains OEM side fog light covers and lower center grill for the OEM look
• Includes replacement external power steering cooler kit with all hardware to mount and install (Full Kit)
• Includes ALL hardware necessary to install
• Limited lifetime warranty

Even though the Sport Intercooler seems compact in size, it is not. It features 351 cubic inches of intercooler core, comparable to the other intercoolers on the market. Instead of going tall and thin like other competitor's FMICs, where half the intercooler is blocked behind the bumper cover and does not receive direct cold airflow, the ER Sport FMIC is short and thick. This puts more than 90% of Sport Intercooler in direct cold airflow and making the intercooler as efficient as possible. With the bumper cover on however, one can hardly tell that the intercooler is not tall.

Evolution Racewerks does extensive R&D as well as beta testing to ensure the highest quality intercoolers. Evolution Racewerks also checks intercooler quality before the intercoolers are packaged. EVERY FMIC is pressure tested to 50 PSI of pressure before they are shipped to ensure no leakage. EVERY FMIC is test fitted on the original component on the car (OEM radiator) to ensure perfect fitment. High quality parts and accessories are included with the intercooler as well as a detailed installation guide. All Evolution Racewerks' Intercoolers are backed with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

As with the Evolution Racewerks Competition Intercoolers, the Sport Front Mount Intercooler features a smog pump relocation bracket. The stock bracket holds the smog pump in direct line of the shortest path to the intercooler. We relocate the smog pump bracket so that we can get the shortest amount of piping with the least amount of bends for increased throttle response and faster spool up. Again, performance, no compromise. Evolution Racewerks intercooler end tanks feature a "rolled" design and are ported and smoothed out on the inside for better flow, helping with throttle response and faster spool up. The end tanks are welded inside and out as well to ensure strength. We supply a new more efficient external power steering cooler to help dissipate heat from the power steering fluid (Audi power steering pumps are prone to failure) and does not require you to "rig" the old power steering cooler.

Available Colors
The Evolution Racewerks Front Mount Intercooler is available in mirror polished finish and type III hard black anodized finish. The type III anodized black finish is great for anyone who wants a stealthy look, and it is very hard to tell there is an aftermarket intercooler on the car, unless you know it's there. Another benefit of the black anodized finish is that it makes the intercooler fins harder and stronger, which makes it less prone to getting bent/damaged from road debris. Testing on Evolution Raceworks' rally car has shown the black anodized finish has no ill-effect on performance whereas regular spray paint has shown negative effects.
