intercooler upgrade options - high air temp

[albertracing]

Hello,

I have a plan to get down with the air temperature after the intercoolers in my RS6.

There are some steps that can be taken but I would need some of your advice

First step is to take the fog lights out. That will enable better flow of the air.

Second step is making custom grille. Just one like MTM and Sportec makes. Maybe some one knows where to buy the grile ?

Third step would be the replacement of the intercoolers.

There are two options:
1) Sportec kit that is very expensive. The best price I have found is at AmD Technik

2) Making my own custom Intercoolers based on sizing of Sportec. Core dimensions are as follows: 270 x 270 x 64mm.

Are the any other ways to the the temperature of the air down ? Are there any other companies making intercooler kit for RS6 ? :rs6kiss:

Removing the fog light will increase the air flow to the intercoolers by 40%.

Drill the hood is also cheap and very efficient...

Removing the fog lights or changing the front low L/R grile w/o the fog lights ?

Will the hood holes make any difference for the intercoolers ? This is totally different air in a different part of the car IMO. There are air ducts that separate the air that goes to the intercooler and the one form the engine.
