The IE FDS front-mount intercooler kit increases horsepower and eliminates heat soak.  Get the most out of your tuned or big-turbo Audi A4 by installing the IE FDS intercooler system.  The unit is drop-in and requires no cutting, trimming, or modification.   The IE FDS (Flow Distribution System) has proven to distribute charge air uniformly across the inlet end of the core.  In contrast to other intercoolers on the market which rely on natural airflow across the core, our FDS technology uses precisely shaped and placed fins cast into the intake plenum to fully take advantage of the large core volume effectively using the entire core.  As a result, the IE FDS intercooler has been proven to reduce intake air temperatures more so than other units available, thus offering the largest power gains possible.

Heat soak occurs when the heat generated exceeds the cooling capacity of the intercooler.  The most common symptom is the noticeable loss of power after long term acceleration or several back to back power pulls.  By greatly increasing the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology, we have eliminated the heat soak, keeping the intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competition intercoolers.

Not only does it offer the highest cooling efficiency on the market, the IE FDS intercooler also offers perfect OEM replacement and requires no modifications to install.  Many other kits available require cutting and drilling for fitment, which is the last thing you want to do to your B8.  With CNC machined mount points, each and every IE intercooler allows you to reuse the factory mounting points and installs as if it were a factory piece.  You will also find that the IE intercooler receives the same attention to detail and quality as every other IE product, with cast and machined end tanks, precise TIG welding, and a dense bar-and-plate core.  Every intercooler is tested on our in-house intercooler testing station before shipping, ensuring that it is ready to install.
