Audi 8V A3/S3 Integrated Engineering FDS Intercooler (IETPCI1B-BK)

IE FDS™ MQB intercoolers for MQB MK7, MK8, 8V, 8Y 2.0T & 1.8T engines are powered by a massive (425mmX621mmX70mm) bar & fin core. This gives you 137% more core volume over the stock intercooler and brings you incredibly efficient cooling properties to combat heat soak, lower intake air temperatures, and keep you in the highest power output possible from your ECU tune and performance hardware upgrades. This is the single largest intercooler on the market today.

THE ONE AND ONLY FDS™

When it comes to cooling air flow, it's all about efficiency. IE's Flow Distribution System (FDS) is light years ahead of other intercoolers, delivering an effective use of the entire core by utilizing precisely shaped fins to force air flow evenly across the entire surface. As a result, the IE FDS intercooler has been proven to drastically reduce intake air temperatures more so than any other units available on the market -offering the largest power gains possible.


NO BOOST LEAKS

Nothing is worse than a boost leak! Advanced CNC machining of the inlet and outlet produces a high-grip surface that locks the silicone into place. A flat stop edge prevents the hose from being installed too far forward while a beveled edge adds enhanced grip for the hose clamp to stop it from sliding back. This high attention to detail creates a friction grip keeping your boost hoses in place for good.


INCREDIBLY STRONG

Dedicated to life-long reliable operation, the end tanks are manufactured from from high quality aluminum castings with ultra-thick and reinforced mounting. When it comes to fitting this massive IC into place, there is no room for error. All mounting bosses and surfaces are in-house precision CNC machined and hand verified for an exact fit.


PRECISION BUILT

Manufacturing the largest intercooler on the market is not easy and leaves no room for mistakes. After the end tanks are meticulously in-house CNC machined, the core and tanks are combined with incredible precision TIG welding. Every single intercooler goes through a multi-point critical inspection and is tested on our leak-down station before shipping. This work ensures a reliable product that it is ready to install.


PERFECT FIT

Despite it's size and features, the IE FDS intercooler is a perfect OEM replacement and requires no modifications to install. Mounting points for the factory radiator and intercooler mounts are machined in. Stainless steel mount brackets are included for an improved and stronger condenser mount. Everything around the performance unit remains untouched and installs as if it were a factory piece.

**2022+ MK8 & 8Y vehicles may require very minor trimming of the plasic radiator shroud during install


About IE

At Integrated Engineering (IE), we love to build, drive, create and innovate performance driven Volkswagen and Audis. We know first-hand the importance of quality designed, engineered, and reliable parts. That is why our team is dedicated to providing high-quality automotive performance products without compromising quality. We specialize in making your Audi or Volkswagen go faster for longer and stand behind all our products.

Our customers have grown to expect a quality build and finish that we strive to over deliver on, not only to manufacture the best, but to ensure the final product performs as well as it was engineered. This begins with an in-depth design process that can take months to years, and through specialized software, the digital product is designed and re-imagined many times over. From here, many products are "rapid prototyped" in ABS plastic to check dimension, fit, and in some cases application. Many of our high-power performance products such as connecting rods, camshafts, and valve train components undergo hours of ruthless testing on our in-house engine and chassis dyno facilities. This ensures that our products have real world-data, for real-world results, on real-world cars. At Integrated Engineering, we believe our commitment to bring you the highest quality performance products available with un-compromised performance truly sets us apart from the rest. 

What began as two brothers, Peter & David Blais grew up with a shared passion for racing. That passion grew and Integrated Engineering was founded in 2007 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Since then, IE has set a new standard for performance products in many areas including connecting rods, camshafts, valve train, and billet accessories. Integrated Engineering has made a mark in the enthusiast community and continues to offer the quality and performance orientated product our customers demand. Our passion for the VW & Audi performance industry is clear, whether you interact with us on our website, phone, email, or online.
