3.0T Heat Exchanger Upgrade Kit

The CAP Heat Exchanger Upgrade Kit offers a substantial improvement over OEM heat exchangers for 3.0T V6 Supercharged Audis, directly addressing heat soak and aiming to increase horsepower. Its design incorporates anti-corrosion features and excellent thermal heat dissipating characteristics, backed by extensive quality control and pressure testing after assembly. Constructed with a high-density fin core and a triple-pass core design, this heat exchanger circulates coolant 40% faster than stock. It also includes a drain plug to help purge air, increasing the reliability of the stock supercharger intercoolers. The lightweight construction and robust 304 aluminum build ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for various climates. While installation is described as plug-and-play with no coding required, some users have noted that trimming the front grill and aluminum crash bar may be necessary for certain models like the S6. It is recommended to pair this upgrade with Stage 1+ tunes or higher for maximum benefit. For optimal performance and airflow, CAP suggests combining it with their Velocity Stack Intake, which guarantees an 18% airflow increase.
