Description
The AWE Front-Mount Intercooler upgrade for Audi Q5 2.0T improves charge-air cooling, helping manage the heat added by forced induction before the air reaches the engine.
Engineering and operation
AWE employed CAD modeling software to design an intercooler that uses an end tank / core package significantly larger than stock while striving to re-use the robust factory hoses and clamps to keep costs down.
This end tank design is a proven winner and is in use on multiple platforms.
Performance context
AWE reports: The AWE FMIC was able to reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) by a maximum of 31 degrees F over stock, a difference of nearly 25%!
Reported figures describe the stated test setup or comparison. They are not guaranteed results for every vehicle, modification level or operating condition.
Compatibility and installation

- Please note, the AWE Performance Front Mounted Intercooler is for racing use only.
