Product Details
Requires IE Charge Pipe Kit for installation (IETPCK6)
Heat soak occurs when the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) generated by the turbo exceeds the cooling capacity of the intercooler and passes hot air to the engine. The result is a noticeable loss of power during acceleration and long pulls. The iE Race Intercooler dramatically increases the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology to significantly reduce intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competitor intercoolers while increasing flow.
The iE Race Series Intercooler sets the standard as the largest in its class. Unlike existing options designed to fit both 2.0T and 3.0T engines, our intercooler is exclusively tailored for the high-powered 3.0T SQ5 platform. Utilizing every millimeter of available space, our engineers have optimized the cooling capabilities for any power goal. The result is a massive size measuring 19.4x16.3x4.5", establishing a new benchmark in cooling power for the B9 3.0L turbocharged engine. What is the point of such a large intercooler if it can't take advantage of the massive surface area? iE's Innovative Flow Distribution System (FDS) places precisely shaped fins inside the end tank to force airflow evenly across the entire core. This technology distributes heat more effectively, recovers faster, and drastically reduces intake air temperatures (IAT) for the most significant power gains possible. iE FDS technology is the proven cheat code. Go full throttle without worry, this intercooler is designed for a big boost. The end tank inlets/outlets and aluminum charge pipes are CNC machined with flat-stop edges and beveled grooves for a high-friction surface that grips your hoses and locks them in place for good. iE's Race Intercooler integrates a thick-gauge steel crash beam and reinforced casting mounts for a long life and worry-free operation. All mounting bosses and surfaces have been precision CNC machined and hand-verified for an exact fit. Every intercooler is meticulously hand-tIG welded by iE's intercooler specialists to ensure outstanding quality and finish detail. Every unit undergoes a strict post-welding multi-point critical inspection and is tested in a leak-down station. This manufacturing level ensures a reliable product ready to install and perform out of the box.
