Will the APR Intercooler for B9 A4 fit a European car?

Not every one. The APR Intercooler for B9 A4 and A5 does not fit rest of world cars with the shorter crash bar support brackets. It is designed around the US spec front structure, so check the brackets on an imported car before ordering.

How much power does the APR A4 intercooler add?

In APR testing the system retained as much as 45 wheel horsepower compared with the factory cooler. That is power the stock cooler loses once it heat soaks, so the benefit shows during repeated pulls, hot weather and track use rather than as a gain on a single cool run.

What comes with the APR B9 A5 intercooler?

Along with the intercooler, the kit includes multi-ply silicone inlet and outlet hoses with wire reinforcement, stainless Clampco T-bolt clamps and a billet MAP sensor housing. APR also supplies full instructions, so no other parts are needed for a standard install on a listed car.

Does the APR B9 A4 intercooler need a tune?

No tune is required to fit it, and APR recommends the cooler at every stage of performance. Its benefit grows with power, since a tuned 2.0 TFSI runs more boost and makes more heat that the narrow factory cooler struggles to shed.

Does the APR A5 Sportback intercooler fit a 2021 car?

APR fitment data lists the B9 A4, A4 quattro, A5 quattro and A5 Sportback from 2017 or 2018 through 2020. The summary on the APR site names some models through 2024, so contact us with your VIN to confirm fitment on a 2021 or later car.

Description

APR Intercooler for B9 A4 and A5 2.0 TFSI

The APR Intercooler for B9 A4 and A5 replaces the narrow factory cooler on the EA888 2.0 TFSI with a tall front mounted bar and plate core. Frontal area more than doubles, from 162.4 to 356.4 square inches, and core volume rises from 507.62 to 801.9 cubic inches. In APR testing the system retained as much as 45 wheel horsepower that the factory cooler lost to heat soak, which makes it a strong partner for a tuned A4, A4 allroad or A5.

Hoses, Clamps and MAP Housing

The kit replaces the factory charge hoses with multi-ply silicone hoses that carry internal wire reinforcement, a fluorosilicone inner layer and the stepped APR EZ-Flow design. Stainless Clampco T-bolt clamps resist hose slip and boost leaks, and a CNC machined billet MAP sensor housing in matte black anodizing holds the sensor securely.

Bar and plate core with staggered, louvered fins
801.9 cubic inch core volume, against 507.62 for the factory cooler

Notes

The Intercooler for B9 A4 and A5 does not fit rest of world cars with the shorter crash bar support brackets
APR lists vehicle fitment through 2020, while its summary line names the A4 quattro and A5 Sportback through 2024; contact us to confirm fitment on a 2021 or later car
The 45 wheel horsepower figure is power retained against a heat soaked factory cooler in APR testing, not a peak gain on a cool car

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.
