Will the APR Intercooler for B8 A4 fit a car with Active Cruise Control?

No. The APR Intercooler for B8 A4 and A5 does not fit cars with Active Cruise Control, or cars with the extra Audi Drive Select cooler mounted above the factory crash bar. Check for both before ordering, since either one blocks the larger core.

How much power does the APR B8 A4 intercooler add?

APR quotes a 17 horsepower gain over the factory intercooler system. It does not state the test car or software, so treat the figure as a guide. The main benefit is consistency, since the larger core resists heat soak on hot days and repeated pulls.

How much bigger is the APR A5 intercooler than stock?

The APR core measures 2.25 x 16.2 x 22 inches, with 356.4 square inches of frontal area and 801.9 cubic inches of volume. The factory cooler has 143 square inches and 357.5 cubic inches, so the APR core more than doubles both figures.

Does the APR B8.5 allroad intercooler need cutting?

No. APR designed it as a bolt-on install with no trimming or drilling, and with the bumper removed the cooler goes in quickly. It fits the 2013 to 2016 allroad with the 2.0 TFSI, along with the listed B8 and B8.5 A4 and A5 models.

Do I need a tune for the APR B8 A4 intercooler?

No tune is required, and APR recommends the cooler at every stage. On a stock car it keeps intake temperature down. On a tuned 2.0 TFSI, where boost and heat both rise, the larger core helps the engine hold the timing and power the calibration asks for.

Description

APR Intercooler for B8 A4 and A5 2.0T

The APR Intercooler for B8 A4 and A5 replaces the slim factory cooler on the B8 and B8.5 2.0 TFSI with a tall front mounted bar and plate core. Frontal area climbs from 143 to 356.4 square inches and core volume from 357.5 to 801.9 cubic inches, more than double the factory figure. That keeps intake air temperature down and holds off heat soak, and APR recommends it at every stage of tune.

Core and End Tank Design

Testing set the core style, fin density and size: a bar and plate core with staggered, louvered fins that cools hard at a low pressure drop. Smooth cast 356 aluminum end tanks spread air across the full core, every unit is pressure tested against boost leaks, and with the bumper off the cooler bolts in quickly.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
