Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit with Charge Pipes for 8Y Audi RS 3

The Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler Kit with Charge Pipes for the 8Y Audi RS 3 is a comprehensive high-performance upgrade designed to maximize the cooling and airflow of the 2.5 TFSI engine. Featuring a large EVOX competition intercooler and reinforced charge pipes, the system delivers significantly more charge-air volume and a larger flow area than the stock setup, resulting in lower intake temperatures, reduced turbo lag, and more consistent power under high load. Precision-engineered cast-aluminum end tanks, integrated cross member, and lightweight, durable charge pipes ensure smooth, efficient airflow and exceptional pressure stability. Finished with a corrosion-resistant coating and built for direct, plug-and-play installation, this kit provides a reliable, track-ready solution for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and throttle response.

Why the Wagner Tuning Competition Intercooler is the Best Choice for Your RS 3

• Massive performance increase thanks to 250% more volume: Wagner Tuning’s intercooler features generous stepped mesh dimensions of 600 mm × 395 mm × 135 mm, providing an impressive 28.9 liters of volume—an extraordinary 250% increase over the standard 8.3 liter cooler. This substantial upgrade delivers significantly cooler, denser intake air, resulting in improved engine efficiency and a noticeable boost in overall performance.
• Outstanding cooling performance & 127% larger flow area: Wagner Tuning’s newly developed competition high-performance mesh, equipped with internal turbulators, provides a 127% larger flow area (2370 cm² compared to the OEM 1043 cm²). The cast aluminum end tanks have been precision-optimized using CFD flow analysis to ensure ideal internal airflow, resulting in exceptional cooling performance with minimal back pressure.
• Lightweight and robust construction: Wagner Tuning’s new mesh design allows the stable assembly, comprising the intercooler and integrated cross member, to weigh just 18.0 kg. The intercooler has been rigorously tested at pressures up to 6 bar, demonstrating complete pressure stability. A premium anti-corrosion coating protects against environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting, optimal cooling performance.
• Simple plug-and-play installation: Wagner Tuning’s high-performance intercooler installs easily as a direct 1:1 replacement at the factory mounting points, requiring no additional modifications. With 82 mm diameter inlets and outlets, it provides optimal airflow for maximum power delivery and performance.
