Not only did we want the AWE Tuning Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler
Kit to be clearly superior to the RS4 unit performance, but we also
wanted to take the opportunity to design a kit that required very little
modification to the US spec Audi 2.7T models during fitment. The RS4
intercooler units are made to fit the Europe only RS4, and mating them
to a US spec 2.7T model requires significant cutting of both the
intercoolers and the vehicle itself. Our design can be fitted in less
than half the time of the typical RS4 kit. This means paying less for
labor charges.
Since RS4 units were never intended to be used on the US S4 chassis,
extensive modifying or tweaking of the areas around the intercoolers is
needed to force fitment. The AWE Tuning Audi 2.7T Performance
Intercooler Kit was designed and built to fit the US S4 chassis,
resulting in a much better, cleaner fit with very little modification
required.
Some key fitment detail differences between the AWE Tuning Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit and the RS4 "kits:"
- 100% coverage of the core face with AWE Tuning Carbon Fiber air
ducts. RS4 kits leave gaps around face that lets cooling air
escape
- No modification needed to the engine belly tray with our design
- Cores are secure and supported
- No modification or cutting of bumper required
Options
The AWE Tuning Audi 2.7T Performance Intercooler Kit comes complete
with two AWE Tuning Performance Intercoolers, AWE Tuning carbon fiber
shrouds (air ducts) and a detailed installation manual. No specialty
tools are required for install.
The AWE Tuning carbon fiber shrouds are also available independently,
should you already have the AWE Tuning Audi 2.7T Performance
Intercooler Set and like to upgrade your shrouds to carbon fiber.
