RacingLine Performance Intercooler System – MQB 2.5 TFSI

Upgrade the cooling performance of your Audi RS3 or TTRS with the RacingLine High Performance Plate & Bar Intercooler, specifically engineered for the 2.5 TFSI EA855 platform.

The factory intercooler on these 2.5 TFSI models can struggle to maintain consistent intake temperatures when subjected to increased power and sustained hard driving. As temperatures rise, heat soak can lead to reduced performance and power losses.

RacingLine’s upgraded intercooler features a large stepped Plate & Bar core, providing a substantial 77% increase in frontal area compared with the factory unit. Carefully engineered internal flow guides distribute airflow efficiently through both the upper and lower sections of the core, while the high-speed internal fin design and taller tubes allow excellent boost airflow with minimal restriction.

The intercooler has been specifically designed for the Audi RS3 8V.2, RS3 8Y and TTRS 8S, allowing a straightforward installation without cutting or drilling. It also retains compatibility with the factory front crash bar.

RacingLine focused development on achieving the ideal balance between maximum intake air temperature reduction and minimal pressure loss. The cast end tanks help reduce turbulence and restriction, allowing air to flow efficiently across the entire stepped core. The result is a 69.5% increase in core volume over the OEM intercooler without introducing the excessive turbo lag that can sometimes occur with oversized intercoolers.

The intercooler features 70mm outlets, allowing the factory boost pipes to remain in place. For those looking to maximise airflow further, RacingLine’s upgraded boost pipe kit can be paired with the intercooler.

By keeping intake air temperatures consistently lower, this intercooler helps reduce heat soak and maintain reliable performance during repeated hard driving. Unlike the factory cooler, it significantly reduces the need for cooldown periods between runs.

This race-developed intercooler is an ideal upgrade for Audi RS3 and TTRS models across all stages of tuning, particularly those running increased power on the 2.5 TFSI EA855 engine.

  • High-performance Plate & Bar intercooler design
