As temperatures rise, heat soak can lead to reduced performance and power losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacingLine’s upgraded intercooler features a large stepped \u003cstrong\u003ePlate \u0026amp; Bar core\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing a substantial \u003cstrong\u003e77% increase in frontal area\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intercooler has been specifically designed for the \u003cstrong\u003eAudi RS3 8V.2, RS3 8Y and TTRS 8S\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing a straightforward installation without cutting or drilling. It also retains compatibility with the factory front crash bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacingLine 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 \u003cstrong\u003e69.5% increase in core volume\u003c\/strong\u003e over the OEM intercooler without introducing the excessive turbo lag that can sometimes occur with oversized intercoolers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intercooler features \u003cstrong\u003e70mm outlets\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis race-developed intercooler is an ideal upgrade for \u003cstrong\u003eAudi RS3 and TTRS models across all stages of tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly those running increased power on the 2.5 TFSI EA855 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-performance Plate \u0026amp; Bar intercooler design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e77% larger frontal area compared with the factory intercooler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e69.5% greater core volume than OEM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimised internal flow guides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-speed core design with extra-tall internal tubes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast end tanks for improved airflow and reduced turbulence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to minimise pressure loss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelps reduce intake air temperatures and heat soak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintains consistent performance during hard driving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to minimise additional turbo lag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70mm intercooler outlets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with OEM boost pipes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with RacingLine upgraded boost pipe kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect-fit design with no cutting or drilling required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetains the factory front crash bar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for street, fast-road and track applications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFITMENT:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudi RS3 8V.2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudi RS3 8Y\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudi TTRS 8S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eENGINE:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5 TFSI EA855\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400 PS applications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngine Codes: DAZA, DAZC, DNWA, DXHA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome images may be for illustration purposes only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calculated at Checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e VWR143000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuickcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e VWR143000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e RacingLine Performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels:\u003c\/strong\u003e RS3 8V, RS3 8Y, TT RS 8S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubPart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intercoolers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gwent VW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52968075723033,"sku":"VWR143000","price":999.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/7643\/4713\/files\/53655843478_c4e91e22f9_k__46476.jpg?v=1786261018","url":"https:\/\/gwentvw.co.uk\/products\/racingline-performance-intercooler-system-audi-rs3-8v-rs3-8y-tt-rs-8s","provider":"Gwent VW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
