Will the APR Intercooler for TT RS fit a European car?

Not directly. The APR Intercooler for TT RS is built around the US spec crash bar. Rest of world cars with the shorter bar need the US crash bar 8S0807190D and foam pieces 8S0807550C, 8S0807573C and 8S0807574C before it will bolt in.

How much power does the APR TT RS intercooler add?

APR publishes a 26 wheel horsepower gain over the factory cooler on Stage 1 software with 93 octane for its 2.5 TFSI EVO intercoolers, without saying which car was tested. The gain comes from lower intake temperature, so it is largest on hot days and repeated pulls.

Is the APR Intercooler for TT RS big enough for a big turbo?

APR rates the cooler for more than double the factory power level. With 800.8 cubic inches of core volume, against 510.67 for the factory unit, it has the capacity for heavily tuned and upgraded turbo cars as well as Stage 1 and Stage 2 builds.

Does the APR 8S TT RS intercooler need cutting or drilling?

No. APR designed it as a plug and play install with no trimming or drilling. It bolts in place of the factory cooler on the 2018 to 2022 TT RS quattro with the 2.5 TFSI EVO engine, and APR supplies full installation instructions.

Do I need a tune for the APR TT RS intercooler?

No tune is required, and APR recommends the intercooler at every stage of performance. On a stock car it keeps intake temperature in check. On a tuned car it helps hold the timing and boost the calibration asks for, especially in warm weather or on track.

Description

APR Intercooler for TT RS 8S 2.5 TFSI EVO

The APR Intercooler for TT RS replaces the factory front mount cooler on the 8S TT RS and its 2.5 TFSI EVO five cylinder. Frontal area grows from 161.6 to 228.8 square inches and core volume from 510.67 to 800.8 cubic inches, so intake air temperature stays down and heat soak is held off across repeated pulls. APR rates it for more than double the factory power level and recommends it at every stage.

Core and End Tank Design

The core uses staggered, louvered fins, with style, fin density and size chosen through testing for strong cooling at a low pressure drop. Smooth cast 356 aluminum end tanks spread airflow across the full face of the core, and each cooler is pressure tested against boost leaks before it ships.

Notes

The Intercooler for TT RS fits US spec cars. Rest of world cars with the shorter crash bar need the US setup: crash bar 8S0807190D and foam 8S0807550C, 8S0807573C and 8S0807574C
APR publishes a 26 wheel horsepower gain on Stage 1 software with 93 octane for its 2.5 TFSI EVO intercoolers; it does not say whether that test was run on a TT RS or an RS3

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.
