{"product_id":"b8-b8-5-s4-s5-3-0t-air-to-water-heat-exchanger","title":"B8\/B8.5 S4\/S5 3.0T Air-to-Water Heat Exchanger","description":"The CTS B8\/B8.5 Audi S4\/S5 Air-to-Water Heat Exchanger (Intercooler) Upgrade is designed to significantly improve the performance of your supercharged 3.0T engine by combating heat soak.\n\nThis upgrade replaces the restrictive factory cooler, a crucial step for any modified V6 supercharged S4\/S5\/Q5\/SQ5 3.0TFSI. It is strongly recommended for vehicles running stage 2 and higher tunes, as it effectively reduces intake air temperatures by an average of 10-12F and helps maintain consistent power output even under extreme conditions. The unit features an efficient, lightweight construction with a triple-pass core, eliminating the need for an additional coolant pump. It is engineered using the latest 3D scanning technology to ensure an easy installation and a perfect fit.\n\nThe kit includes the heat exchanger itself (measuring 24″ x 17″ x 2.5″), along with all necessary brackets, hardware, coolant hose, hose connectors, and hose clamps. It also features a convenient drain plug and bleed port to ensure no air is trapped while adding coolant.\n\nFitment is confirmed for the 2010-2016 Audi S4 (V6T supercharged), 2010-2017 Audi S5 (V6T supercharged), 2013-2017 Audi Q5 (V6T supercharged), and 2014-2017 Audi SQ5 (V6T supercharged). A note for some 2010-2012 B8 S4 vehicles equipped with Audi Drive Select (ADS) indicates the need for an additional oil cooler for ADS, which is typically visible through the front grille and commonly found on early models with Dynamic Steering and Dynamic Suspension. For B8.5 vehicles (2013 and up), specific attention should be paid to hose connections before removing the factory cooler, as the top right hose on the new unit connects to the lower hose on the stock cooler, and the bottom right hose connects to the upper hose on the stock cooler.","brand":"CTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687558902072,"sku":"CTS-B8S4-AWIC","price":447.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687894734.webp?v=1784885090","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/b8-b8-5-s4-s5-3-0t-air-to-water-heat-exchanger","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
