Performance Benefits:
While peak dyno figures show modest gains of +5 bhp and +5.2 Nm, the real-world benefits lie in mid-range response and sustained high-RPM power—where the 2.0 TFSI engine is typically weakest. The FMINT26 eliminates heat soak under spirited driving and ensures consistent performance, whether you're cruising or pushing through canyon roads or track days.
When paired with Stage 1 tuning and a free-flowing exhaust system, this intercooler truly shines, unlocking the full potential of the Audi A4’s turbocharged powerplant. Cooler air equals more power and reliability, especially in warm climates or aggressive driving scenarios.
