APR IC100029 APR IC100029 Intercooler System

Compatible with 2018-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2019-2021+ Arteon, and 2019-2023 Audi Q3 2.0T with 8 Speed Transmission. This product is not created or sold by Audi or Volkswagen; The APR Intercooler System is a massive front mounted upgrade that dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), minimizes heat soak, and provides increased performance! The system is an easy to install, direct bolt-on design, that is recommended at every stage of performance. Cool down your air intake temperature to maximize performance while keeping your engine safe. INTERCOOLER CORE DESIGN The APR Intercooler core is a large bar-and-plate design featuring densely packed staggered and louvered fins. This design offers exceptional cooling while balancing pressure loss across the core, and maintaining critical airflow to the components behind the intercooler system. The core size was appropriately matched to the platform, minimizing pressure drop while leaving adequate space for appropriately designed end tanks. To APR's mechanical engineering experts, the design represented the ultimate in performance, far exceeding the capabilities of the factory intercooler. To the driver, the result is simple: Repeatable performance, even in the most demanding of situations! CORE STYLE / INTERNAL FIN STRUCTURE APR's Engineers paid close attention to the balance between core effectiveness and pressure drop through the core, core style and fin density. With fin density too low, pressure drop decreases dramatically, but typically results in a core incapable of effectively cooling. Likewise, with fin density too great, pressure drop increases dramatically, resulting in the turbocharger working harder, and hotter, to produce the same level of airflow. By fine tuning this often unseen balancing act, as illustrated below, APR's Engineers were able to maximize performance. CORE SIZE APR's Engineers also paid close attention to the balancing act between core effectiveness, pressure drop and
