Product Description

The AWE Tuning ColdFront Intercooler delivers a comprehensive thermal management solution for 2018-2024 Audi SQ5 3.0T vehicles, addressing the factory intercooler's limitations during spirited driving or when ambient temperatures climb. AWE engineered this intercooler with cast aluminum end tanks featuring integrated internal baffling that ensures even airflow distribution across the entire core surface, paired with a robust bar and plate aluminum construction that maximizes heat transfer efficiency. The result is a massive 130% increase in frontal surface area and 83% increase in volume compared to the factory intercooler, dramatically improving the system's ability to keep intake air temperatures low and pressure drop at a minimum. Whether running stock boost levels or pushing higher output with modifications, the ColdFront maintains consistent engine performance by eliminating heat soak that typically degrades power as RPMs climb. CAD design and CFD testing ensure optimized flow characteristics, while TIG welding and pressure testing of every unit guarantees long-term reliability. Installation is a pure bolt-on affair that fits securely behind the stock crash bar, reuses factory intercooler hoses and clamps, and requires no cutting or permanent vehicle modifications. The ColdFront has no effect on OE radiator or air conditioning systems. Backed by AWE's No Check Engine Light Guarantee and Perfect Fitment Guarantee, this intercooler is designed and assembled in-house at AWE's facility. Note that this intercooler is not CARB approved and is not legal for sale or use in California or other states that have adopted California emissions standards.
