{"product_id":"fds-intercooler-1","title":"FDS Intercooler","description":"The IE FDS Intercooler is engineered to combat heat soak and power loss in modified VW\/Audi 2.0T vehicles. When performance upgrades like ECU tuning, exhaust systems, or turbo upgrades are installed, intake air temperatures rise, leading to significant power reduction. This intercooler system directly replaces the factory unit, utilizing a much larger core and IE's proven FDS technology to achieve higher cooling efficiency. This results in lower intake air temperatures and a safe increase in horsepower.\n\nConstructed with U.S. cast and machined end tanks, precise TIG welding, and a dense bar-and-plate core, this intercooler is built for durability and performance. It features a 54% larger core volume than the OEM unit and incorporates the Flow Distribution System (FDS) to optimize core utilization for rapid cooling and minimal pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software and in-house dyno testing were used to refine the end tanks and FDS for maximum flow and reduced pressure loss, allowing the turbocharger to work less.\n\nIt utilizes CNC-machined mounting points to reuse factory hardware. However, a specific charge pipe kit (IETPCC12) is required for 2013.5+ MK6 Jetta \u0026amp; GLI models with the Gen 3 TSI engine. Some Audi TSI models may require custom work to lengthen the passenger side inlet hose, and CC, Eos, and B6\/B7 Passat models may also require custom inlet hoses, while the Tiguan requires custom intercooler hoses.\n\nFitment includes various Audi A3\/S3, TT\/TTS, and VW MK5\/MK6 GTI, Golf R, and Jetta\/GLI models. The intercooler is tested to support over 700hp and is recommended for cars with upgraded turbos or aggressive ECU tunes.","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688791765304,"sku":"IETPCB1","price":989.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664719152.webp?v=1784896079","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/fds-intercooler-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
