Intercooler Kit
1.8T Front Mount Intercooler
APR is please to present our front mounted intercooler
for the TT. The construction and advanced design
techniques used in the APR intercooler sets ours apart
from all the others on the market. Utilizing such technologies as a
top-bottom feed core, custom mandrel bent plumbing, and innovative
cast endtanks with internal vaning, our intercooler has produced
excellent results in testing. The 180TT features a C-style
intercooler, and the 225TT has a Z-style intercooler.
The conditions of one test that was performed is as follows: at
20 psi of pressure with a vehicle speed of 70 mph, and an elevation
of approximately 500 feet above sea level. Under these conditions
the internal flow was measured at 720cfm. Also at those conditions,
with an input temp of 240 F, the intercooler was quite effective;
cooling the output air to 126 F. While doing this, the intercooler
measured a pressure drop of only .58 psi.
Equally as impressive with the APR intercooler was
the external pressure drop (the amount of air pressure behind the
intercooler) of only 1.01 psi. This helps to allow airflow to other
critical parts of the car such as the radiator and A/C condenser.
While the internal pressure drop is important, the external
pressure drop is often overlooked. Most other intercoolers commonly
cause 1.5 to 2.0 pounds of pressure drop, hindering the radiator
from effectively doing its job of cooling the engine.
The highlights of the APR Intercooler kits include
the following:
- APR Cast End Tanks with Internal Vaning
- Top-Bottom Feed Bar and Plate Aluminum Core
- Mandrel-Bent, Powdercoated Stainless Steel Plumbing
- APR Custom Silicone Intake Hoses
- All Associated Bracketry and Hardware
