uprated RS4 intercoolers .

Post by dhali » Wed Nov 21, 2007 11:21 am

One of my intercoolers is leaking so have been looking around and have noticed these. Am toying with the idea of staying OEM or worth upgrading to these. Are they any good? Any one know the size of the oem inlet/outlet?

They are the same as the S4 ones that are offered on ebay in the US all the time - although they quote it will fit an RS4, it looks like the pipe diameter is that of the S4?

I think that, and the whole cloak and dagger approach, might tell us that maybe the gains weren't that great.

I don't know where that came from? Yes, they are taller than the OEM jobbies, but are tucked away under the plastic engine shield. You would need to do some serious damage to the bumper to make contact with the IC's!
