APR Front Mount Intercooler Kit for 02-05 A4 (B6)
Utilizing such technologies as a top-bottom feed core, custom mandrel bent plumbing, and innovative cast endtanks with internal vaning, the APR intercooler has produced excellent results in testing.
Features of APR Intercooler kits include the following:
Cast End Tanks with Internal Vaning
Top-Bottom Feed Bar and Plate Aluminum Core
Mandrel-Bent, Powdercoated Stainless Steel Plumbing
APR Custom Silicone Intake Hoses
All Associated Brackets and Hardware
APR's front mount intercooler kits need at least 13" of vertical clearance to be installed properly. See image showing vertical dimension. See notes below relating to your specific application:
- For the B6 A4, an aftermarket bumper is required. There will also need to be modifications made to the bumper itself in order for the FMIC to fit properly. This is illustrated in the instruction manual.
APR TESTING: The conditions of one test that was performed is as follows: at 20 psi of pressure with a vehicle speed of 70 mph, and an elevation of approximately 500 feet above sea level. Under these conditions the internal flow was measured at 720cfm. Also at those conditions, with an input temp of 240 F, the intercooler was quite effective; cooling the output air to 126 F. While doing this, the intercooler measured a pressure drop of only .58 psi.
Equally as impressive with the APR intercooler was the external pressure drop (the amount of air pressure behind the intercooler) of only 1.01 psi. This helps to allow airflow to other critical parts of the car such as the radiator and A/C condenser. While the internal pressure drop is important, the external pressure drop is often overlooked. Most other intercoolers commonly cause 1.5 to 2.0 pounds of pressure drop, hindering the radiator from effectively doing its job of cooling the engine.
