Project Car: 2018 Audi RS3 - APR Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)
Project Car: 2018 Audi RS3 - APR Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC)
Not much to say about this but the intercooler is much larger than stock and it was a logical upgrade to get consistent power. Retails for $999.99 and took about 2.5-3 hours to install.
Stock vs APR
The APR Intercooler System is a massive front mounted upgrade that dramatically reduces intake air temperature (IAT), minimizes heat soak, and provides increased performance! The system is an easy to install, direct bolt-on design, that is recommended at every stage of performance.
