{"title":"Audi B9 A5 2.0T Performance Intercooler Upgrades","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's no secret that the factory equipped intercooler on the Audi B9 A5 2.0T is tiny. Just take a quick look through your grill and you'll easily see just how small it is.

In contrast to other intercoolers on the market which rely on natural airflow across the core, our FDS technology uses precisely shaped and placed fins cast into the inlet plenum to fully take advantage of the large core volume effectively using the entire core. As a result, the IE FDS intercooler has been proven to reduce IAT (intake air temperatures) more so than competing intercoolers, thus offering the largest power gains possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncreasing horsepower of your B9 is a simple task with several tunes and upgraded turbos available. However, it is important to keep in mind that increasing horsepower will result in heat soak of the stock intercooler and parasitic power loss. The IE front-mount intercooler system was designed to directly replace the factory unit, while utilizing a much larger core and our proven FDS (Flow Distribution System) to effectively utilize that larger core. These features allow for much higher cooling efficiency than the factory system, thus reducing intake air temperatures and safely increasing horsepower output. The IE FDS intercooler is also a direct fit, requiring no cutting, modification, or time-wasting hassle during installation. Read below for more in-depth information on each intercooler feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELIMINATE HEAT SOAK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat soak occurs when the heat generated exceeds the cooling capacity of the intercooler. The most common symptom is the noticeable loss of power after long term acceleration or several back to back power pulls. By greatly increasing the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology, we have eliminated the heat soak, keeping the intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competitor intercoolers.

Simply put, pressure drop is the amount of pressure that is lost as air travels through the intercooler. As airflow boost pressure is raised, pressure drop  typically begins to climb. By using a larger core that flows much more freely than the factory core, pressure drop is reduced, decreasing the need for the turbocharger to work harder to produce the required boost levels. This allows the turbocharger to deliver more usable boost pressure to the engine.

objectives; performance, efficiency, aesthetics and quality. Operations start with 3D scanning the 2.0 TSI MLB engine bay and OEM components with its in-house 3D scanner. Once 3D scan data has been collected and processed, Unitronic Hardware Engineers then interact with the 3D models to identify fitment constraints, mounting locations, other component locations, etc. to ensure the final product fits perfectly within the “envelope”.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDesign and Engineering begins with the evolution of the design in meeting the objectives. Criteria from a top level is first met with the platform's design constraints; breaking it down to the details in optimizing the design. With upfront engineering fluid dynamics (EFD), Unitronic is able to hone in and refine the areas that are most effective in meeting those objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWith the ability to perform different iterations from design changes we are also able to accurately predict performance on how the design will perform.

When intake air temperatures reach a specific threshold, the engine control unit begins to compensate to account for the air temperature, resulting in a decrease in performance. Unitronic’s core has 79% more volume than stock measuring 21.65” x 16.61” x 2.52”, allowing for a greater volume of air to exchange heat, which, combined with a proper fin configuration, allows for maximum efficiency and reduction in heat-soak thresholds without producing a significant pressure drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTesting Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"%7B%7Bmedia%20url=\" wysiwyg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing its own B9 Audi® A4® Allroad® for research and development provided Unitronic with an in-house platform to run through testing.
