Due to the RSQ3 using the legendary 2.5 TSFI engine used in the RS3 we knew that our intercooler design for that vehicle would work perfectly well on the RSQ3, however there are differences behind the bumper, so we have modified this kit to fit the F3 chassis perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe core used for FMINT38 is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a\u003cstrong\u003e huge 55% more surface area than OEM cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an even more impressive \u003cstrong\u003e94% more volume \u003c\/strong\u003e(8.2 litres increased to 16l litres). The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with our \u003cstrong\u003eFMKT024\u003c\/strong\u003e boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8V chassis, \u003cstrong\u003ew\u003cstrong\u003ee supply a genuine Audi RSQ crash bar \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ewhich we modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in our standard black finish powder coat for maximum longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy do we test different cores?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere at Forge Motorsport, when developing an intercooler, we will test several different cores for each application. For example, a bar and plate style core, a tube and fin style core along with different fin pitches and heights i.e. 22 ,17 or 12 fins per inch as well as changing the internal fin pitches\/shapes and density within the tube enabling to fine tune the amount of pressure drop the intercooler produces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePressure drop is not always a bad thing, as our testing and research has proven on various projects, this is because the pressurized air velocity is being stalled by the pressure drop within the cooler thus allowing more time to cool the air within the cooler itself, as air passes through the non-pressurized face of the core, that is open to the atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToo much pressure drop can of course have a problem on the higher performance engines as the intercooler reaches its maximum efficiency the turbo has to work a lot harder to force the air through the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e RSQ3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis \/ generation:\u003c\/strong\u003e F3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering \u0026amp; fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease use the vehicle application, engine code and specification information above to confirm compatibility.
