The APR Air-to-Water Intercooler System, part number aprIC100028, is engineered for the B9 Audi RS5 equipped with the 2.9T EA839 engine. The factory intercooler can struggle to control charged-air temperatures during repeated acceleration, track sessions, quarter-mile passes, or spirited driving. Rising intake air temperatures may cause the engine control unit to reduce power for protection. This APR system provides a substantial improvement in charge-air cooling, helping deliver more consistent horsepower, torque, and throttle response without requiring an engine tune.
Designed as a direct-fit upgrade, the APR system uses application-specific charge-air and coolant hoses, CNC-bent and laser-cut mounting brackets, and a proprietary aluminum cooling core. CFD-optimized cast aluminum end tanks promote efficient airflow, while the CNC-machined and TIG-welded construction provides dependable strength for high-performance street and track use. The system flows more air than the factory unit at every measured pressure differential and is engineered to resist power-robbing heat soak.
The APR intercooler provides a 194% larger cooling capacity than the factory unit, with a 5,500-cubic-centimeter core compared with the original 1,870-cubic-centimeter design. By dramatically lowering intake air temperatures, it helps maintain repeatable performance across multiple pulls and demanding driving conditions. Installation instructions and product support are included, making this a practical upgrade for Audi RS5 owners seeking improved cooling and consistency.
Compatible with 2018-2024 Audi RS5 and RS5 Sportback models using the B9 2.9T EA839 engine. The system does not negatively impact emissions and does not require tuning. This product is not CARB approved, and applicable emissions requirements should be reviewed before installation or use on public roads.
