IE Race Series FDS Intercooler System For Audi B9/B9.5 S4 & S5

IE Race FDS

Installation instructions are missing steps. The time is lengthy, like 3 to 4 times estimates for a first time. If you have experience taking off the front bumper and putting the front clip in the service position, the estimates may be accurate. It is not possible to install without setting to service position and long bolts are not provided so do some research on how to do that before you start. If you hear it’s possible ignore the guidance. The product itself is built like a tank and I absolutely trust it does what they say it does. Fit is excellent. I had to drill out my crash bar holes so the supplied hardware fit. A hacksaw or band saw or dremel is required to trim a support. These are permanent alterations which cannot be returned to stock. Engine temps are up after install, but I believe intake temps way down. Hope this helps.

Heat soak Destroyer!

The figment and finish on this was amazing, IE never disappoints on the top quality nature of their parts! Zero timing being pulled now on back to back pulls with ambient air temps in the high 90’s

Doesn't Fit Uk crash bar without modifying

Unfortunately i thought it would fit when first ordering but turns out for UK spec cars you have to cut and reweld the crash bar. So bare this in mind as it will cost you quiet a bit for a good fabricator to do this and of course to install it. Even thought its a great product i have to drop my rating down due to the cost involved in modification.
