I like these intercoolers.

[Brav]

do you have thermal efficiency numbers? Bigger is usually better, but efficiency is critical. Great price!

Uhhh- Not to be a cynic (just a natural trait for CPA's)- how do we validate the above numbers (i.e. independent test labs, etc). Some (I am certainly not saying you) have been known to "fudge graphs and data.

These coolers look great and seem like a terrific alternative to the OEM. The price offer being made is also sincerely appreciated. I may just have to buy a set and have it available for an opportune install time (when other service is being performed or my OEM actually decide to take a leak). :)

how well do these work without the cf duct? will they adapt to the stock duct?

any details on the hose kit?

what if we wanted just the intercoolers and the external water cooler brackets?

Good questions and I'd like to know the same as that is the setup I'm considering.

[RS6-4dr911]

I believe this was asked and answered on a different thread, not sure by whom, but IIRC, yes will work with factory duct but you'll be reducing the amount of air getting to the IC.

As for the brackets, the quote above seems to list itemized pricing so I'm guessing they will sell the brackets separately.

thanks for the info...

reduced air, but for those that have leaky ICs to begin with... no more leaking boost issues.

i'm still curious on the hose kit. anyone with info on that?

[DHall1]

These are nice looking units. I would go for the complete kit and remove the fogs to open up additional frontal area.

Only problem for me. Mine are fine for now and Fidelity covers my car for 5 more years.

Hmmm, "if" mine leak in the future....I could specify these as replacement. Hmmmm

[Daniel]

look carefully...often you didn`t noticed the leak(s) !!! I made the experience by myself...

[hahnmgh63]

I knew my right one was leaking as their were obvious signs of an oil residue where no oil could possibly have spilt on a corner of the intercooler. I thought my right one was probably good but until I removed it I also saw signs of leaking, although not as bad as the right one. I rigged a pressure test set-up for leaking but my set-up leaked so I'm going to get some more fittings and rig a better one for light pressure testing. I won't go above 15lbs in testing which should be more than sufficient.

[cornishmoocher]

Guy's, for your info, Grizz swears by these IC's, has them fitted to his car, and I am next.
You can trust Carsten and his figures.

BTW I have the Wagner hoses. My old OEMs were being blown off every 5 minutes. with these no more problems- top product.

Mooch

If I have the venair silicon hoses kit, do i still need to get these hoses kit from Wagner?

I dont think 034 Motorsports will like the manufacturer going direct to the US market.

I dont know but thats just me.

We dont see the dealers on this forum but the dealers have to pay to advertise the products on other forums. 034 Motorsport does pay to advertise these Wagner intercoolers to the Audi community.

Even VMR stopped short of cutting off their dealers with our purchase of rims. VMR did not wish to short change their dealer network and Audi community.

Just a thought.

[DHall1]

^^ Oh good. That is more than fair.

[hahnmgh63]

Lupo, I would suggest you guys come up with the 2 extra intercooler hoses and make a 6 hose kit like the Venair hoses. I wouldn't want to replace 4 of the 6 hoses and leave 2 old rubber hoses on the car. I also used the heavier duty constant Torque hose clamps on my car, much better than OEM, especially when running higher boost.
Guys, I highly recommend the Wagner intercoolers, the intercooler quality is excellent. I did the whole kit with ducting but I could go either way on the ducts.

Hello Clive,

yes, these are in Stock.
http://wagner-tuning.de/produkte/200001010RS6LLK.php

You can get them also at Unit20 or MRC. The Audi OEM Intercooler is smaller and always leaking.

The Graph is made on a regular RS6 without additional Watercoolers. The Watercoolers behind the Intercooler are only on the RS6 plus and Cars with Hot Weather Package (all US Cars so far)

[CliveH]

Thanks Carsten. Do you also supply the RS6+ watercoolers or are these an Audi part? In fact, are they necessary at all with your ICs?

[Lupo911]

These are a OEM Audi Part. You dont need to buy these, they are not necessary!

[SAFE4NOW]

Figured why not... enough ppl seem to be happy with them, I have the whole kit coming.

I sould be able to get before and after Dyno info as well. My thoughts are:

Leave car parked overnight in Dyno room
May pre-runs and log data
Install I/C's
Leave car parked in Dyno room
Perform after install runs and log data

Should be interesting, I want to get them done in time for the Texas Mile end of this month!

BUMP -- Steve any data yet?

[DALLAS_RS6]

I had my Wagner kit installed last week. I saw a 35-40hp gain according to the dyno. Now that is comparing to a pair of stock leaking intercoolers.

[hahnmgh63]

Congrats, one of my stock was leaking bad and the other one barely but I don't think (seat of the pants that I gained that much. I need to get off my butt and do some Vag logs to check acceleration soon.

[DALLAS_RS6]

Yeah, I only felt a diference when I did a 60-140mph pull. But I think combined with the sportech lower cover mod it should be more noticeable.

[hahnmgh63]

Doing the Sportech mod next week, good timing as my car is on the lift and my lower cover is off already.

[JRS-RS6]

I had my Wagner kit installed last week. I saw a 35-40hp gain according to the dyno. Now that is comparing to a pair of stock leaking intercoolers.

Thanks Dallas,

It sure would be nice to see that kind of gain in my car. Using VAG I hit peak HP numbers that I am expecting but I suspect from looking at the boost versus RPMs that if mine were not leaking I would have more low and especially mid range torque. I will be trying to patch up my leaking stock ICs first and than when I can afford it revisit doing the Wagners. If those that have done them report similar gains over stock to yours than I will do the Wagners.

Can you post before and after dyno readings?

[Shoppinit]

Wouldn't you expect to detect leaking IC with the vagcom? Surely you'd be running lean at idle and rich under load?

[hahnmgh63]

The flow through the intercoolers is just pressurized air that is leaking so Rich would be in order not lean, that is if the car didn't compensate with a shorter injection pulse, so no, you wouldn't be able to necessarily detect if with Vagcom if it wasn't real bad. A small leak will just cause the turbos to spin a little faster to make the necessary pressure so with a small leak you would probably still get max boost, it may just come on a little later, but possibly not enough to really notice seat of the pants. A large leak would probably be noticeable but your car would probably run fine, just down a little on power as the computer is smart enough and has enough sensors (EGT, O2, Manifold pressure, mass flow, air temp) that it can do a lot of compensation in order to prevent engine damage.

[JRS-RS6]

Wouldn't you expect to detect leaking IC with the vagcom? Surely you'd be running lean at idle and rich under load?

Precisely -- I do not have the numbers with me (traveling on business) but the AF was off and under 2% on the bottom and off the opposite 4% on the top. The point being that this is a common, well known, and documented problem with stock ICs. They both have oil on the bottom so they are leaking just not too bad. No codes but still not right.

After all my car was down 400 mbarr of boost with no codes and missing some 120 (peak) hp before I had the N75 replaced so just because there is an issue does NOT mean that it will be obvious or bad enough for the car to throw codes.

This is exactly what I am getting at. Comparing my car to a stock RS6 it should make better boost which it does but breaking it down and looking very closely with VAG-COM it takes longer to build. Since 1st and 2nd gear come and go pretty quickly it can be readily seen that it is not right and lagging compared to a known good car with repaired ICs.

My one and only quick pass calculating 0-60 showed a 4.8 sec run which is marginally sub par.

[Shoppinit]

My one and only quick pass calculating 0-60 showed a 4.8 sec run which is marginally sub par.
My best run ever is about 5.2 and this was just after rolling roaded the car to check the power.

I suspect my IC may be leaking and while the car is making full power, it's not making it as soon as it should - if you see what I mean. This means it would RR at correct power, but in real terms acceleration would be affected.

Ah, screw it. I'm gonna get some wagners.

[4everRS]

James, 4.8 is pretty good for a car with an IC leak. That chip must be working. I bet you'll be under 4.5 with good IC's.
Dave, have you logged any 0-60 times with the ECU and TCU upgrades?

I wonder if a radiator repair shop or a good machine shop could re-weld the seams up. Then pressure test. I have thought about this if mine ever start to leak. Any thoughts?

..I wonder if a radiator repair shop or a good machine shop could re-weld the seams up. Then pressure test. I have thought about this if mine ever start to leak. Any thoughts?

I was wondering about the same thing. First we will get them out and cleaned up and than see how bad they are leaking and go from there. The 4.8 was logged in Turbo mode (higher sampling rate) and of course has a + / - to it. Since I am on the road I do not have a screen shot with me it is on my home computers. The road was level but pretty bumpy and Pat was at the wheel since I wanted his impression of the car after getting the boost issue fixed. Most of what I had logged before was MAFs, Timing Advance, and Boost so not too much practice using the 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile calculator.

[4everRS]

I did a few redneck 0-60 runs today with a stopwatch. Best I could get was 5.25. Now, my launching technique was pretty bad as I was focusing on many things, including the stopwatch. Thinking I may be able to cut that by 15 to 20 thousands if I were able to focus better. I'd love to be in the mid 4 second range. Hopefully will be getting a tune this summer after a MTM TCU upgrade.

[DHall1]

Pat....sounds like we need to teach K the duck foot rat technique.

Maybe a pair of Pumas might help...

[skribe]

Everything's faster when you're rocking the Pumas. Maybe that's why my 0-60 times have plummeted -- it's my New Balance 998's, the Official Shoe of Mall Walkers.

Nope, actually it's my intercoolers. They leak like dhall at an I-10 rest stop. Going in for new OEMs friday.

[DHall1]

Those are real wankers. Cant even keep rest areas open in the state but every fat a$$ bureaucrat is sucking off the hind teet of the surfs. Yes on 100 my a$$, take your extra 1% tax for "education" and stick it where the sun dont shine.

Next time we go by the I10 rest area with the motorhome....I am going to pull over and dump 160 gallons of grey and black water tanks on the side of the road. Just to be an a$$. Oh yeah, for those that think I am full of $hit. I do carry around 160 gallons of it when my tanks are full. So literally yes.

Now for the RS6 content. You getting those covered by Fidelity? What was the process to get them covered. How bad are yours leaking?

Leaking badly enough that I can HEAR it from the right side, all my boost is shooting out a failed weld. Will post deets of coverage as it unfolds...

My IC were covered by my Fidelity warranty. I just paid the difference for the upgrade which was around $500.

James, 4.8 is pretty good for a car with an IC leak. That chip must be working. I bet you'll be under 4.5 with good IC's.

I guess we will find out.

Ordered Wagner kit yesterday from 034motorsports to ship out of Germany Monday. ETA the end of next week. I sure hope the Iceland volcano activity does not delay the shipment.

Venair hoses arrived yesterday directly from Venair. Very nice people to work with. They can make any of the other hoses if you want them too. They just need ones to work from. Maybe someone has extra hoses from the plenum to the DVs that they are willing to part with for them to copy. If so PM me and I will put you in contact with Venair in Florida. Pat will pick up his set tomorrow from my wife (I am out of town on business) and will be getting new clamps for the both of us.

New front grill with brushed Aluminum piece coming later in the week and will be replaced. Will also be getting front bumper repainted while its all apart.

Updates to follow in just over a week if all goes as planned.

[4everRS]

very nice. When are they going in? May 1st? I want a ride to compare mine - non chipped, stock intercoolers.

Pat, you'll have to try to show me the duck-foot-rat technique.

If all goes per tentative plan (is that redundant?) I am looking at next Sunday to tear it all apart and install the ICs and Monday to shoot the bumper. If ready we will put it all back together when Pat gets off of work Monday night or if needed Tuesday night.

So Cars and Coffee the weekend after may be on the agenda. Ride -- sure that can happen. Pat can even do the duck-foot-rat while I get the VAG-COM data logging going and you can be in the back like a dignitary if you like :).

My wife tried the back seat when I bought the car and she now wants me to wear a cap when I drive and she wants to sit back there whenever we go to the grocery store. She keeps muttering "home James" when we are done shopping.

[DHall1]

Can you expand on this?

Details

I think many of us with leaking stockers are not totally thrilled to replace this failed design with another failed design because we have Fidelity. What shop did the work? Audi or indy?

What were your symptoms and did the inspector come out?



My IC were covered by my Fidelity warranty. I just paid the difference for the upgrade which was around $500.

[DALLAS_RS6]

I had the work done at Autoscope with Steve (safe4now). They did an inspection and found they were leaking. An inspector from Fidelity did come out. As for specifics I will see if Steve can respond.

[DHall1]

Thank you

I had the idea Autoscope did the work.

Steve-many of us are in this boat. Leaking intercoolers with Fidelity. Mine is at 30k and starting to leak in the corners of the intercooler. What exactly did you tell Fidelity to generate a claim and how can you verify the leak to the inspector other than "look idiot, the seam of the intercooler is leaking and forming that oil residue right there".

Reason I ask. If you pressure test each intercooler it may not leak very much. ie 1psi over 10min.

What is the benchmark to say these are shot.

Lastly, Fidelity was ok with Wagners.

Thanks all

Dave
