{"product_id":"heat-exchanger-upgrade","title":"Heat Exchanger Upgrade","description":"The CTS Turbo Heat Exchanger Upgrade is a direct replacement for the restrictive factory cooler on supercharged 3.0T Audi engines, specifically designed for models like the S4, S5, Q5, and SQ5. This air-to-water intercooler (AWIC) upgrade is crucial for modified vehicles, particularly those running Stage 2 tunes or higher, as it significantly reduces intake air temperatures by 10-12F. By keeping air temperatures low, it helps maintain consistent power output and avoids heat soak, even in extreme conditions.\n\nConstructed from efficient, lightweight materials, this heat exchanger features a triple-pass core, meaning no additional coolant pump is required. It utilizes the latest 3D scanning technology for a perfect fit and easy installation, replacing the factory part with a more efficient design. The kit includes the heat exchanger itself (measuring 24″ x 17″ x 2.5″), brackets, hardware, coolant hose, hose connectors, and hose clamps.\n\nFitment is confirmed for the 2010-2016 Audi S4, 2010-2017 Audi S5, 2013-2017 Audi Q5, and 2014-2017 Audi SQ5, all equipped with the V6T supercharged engine. A specific fitment note applies to some 2010-2012 B8 S4 vehicles equipped with Audi Drive Select (ADS); these models may require an additional oil cooler for ADS, which is visible through the front grille. This is typically found on early models with Dynamic Steering and Dynamic Suspension. The product is made in the USA from billet T66061 aluminum.","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687528001848,"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\/662652457.webp?v=1784884947","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/heat-exchanger-upgrade","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
