The high-quality HFT core offers excellent cooling performance, even under demanding conditions, while also being extremely robust. It is highly resistant and does not heat up as much as comparable cores from other manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>The complete system is also designed for optimum flow. Pressure loss is minimal, and the entire charge-air path was developed using CAD flow analyses. This also applies to the cooler end tanks, which are made from high-strength cast aluminium and feature our WAY FIN TECHNOLOGY.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Core type: HFT<\/li>\n<li>End tanks: cast aluminium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Road use:<\/strong> The product includes a parts certificate (Teilegutachten) for simplified registration of the conversion under \u00a719.3.<\/p>\n<h3>Comparison<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Standard intercooler:<\/strong> 5,586 cm\u00b3<br \/><strong>HF-Series:<\/strong> 14,520 cm\u00b3<\/p>\n<h3>Product benefits<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Improved flow and even pressure distribution for maximum efficiency:<\/strong> With WAY FIN TECHNOLOGY, a guide fin in the end tank provides even better flow and more even pressure distribution throughout the core, achieving maximum efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower pressure loss:<\/strong> To achieve the programmed boost pressure, the turbocharger must run at a higher speed when pressure loss is greater. This results in increased thermal loading of the turbocharger and greater wear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooler charge air<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Earlier response and improved performance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>What exactly does an upgraded intercooler provide?<\/h3>\n<p>To express the exact power increase from an intercooler in figures, many unknown factors must be considered, such as factory power variation, other hardware changes and the software used during measurement. This differs from vehicle to vehicle. As a rule of thumb for tuned engines, an increase of up to 5\u201310 % may be expected.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important is preventing a loss of performance at high outside temperatures, or even activation of the temperature protection stored in many control units. This allows you to rely on the engine\u2019s full performance, whether it has already been tuned or is to remain standard from a software perspective.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommendation<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using our HF-Series intercoolers together with hardware and software optimisation. Reducing back pressure, thereby relieving the turbocharger, and cooling the charge air, which increases the oxygen content in the combustion chamber and reduces thermal loading, creates a performance upgrade that efficiently uses the potential of every turbocharged engine.<\/p>\n<p>When working on the hardware or software tuning of your vehicle, charge pressure loss must not be overlooked. If engine power is increased with a remap, boost pressure will also increase in 99% of cases. Using the standard intercooler causes charge pressure loss to rise exponentially. The turbocharger must then work harder, increasing its thermal load and reducing its service life; higher rotational speeds also accelerate wear.<\/p>\n<p>Our HF-Series intercoolers provide the perfect balance between cooling performance and charge pressure loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suitable for:<\/strong> Audi Q5 I (8R), Audi SQ5 I (8R).<\/p>\n<h3>Manufacturer\u2019s vehicle data<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>HF-Series Ladeluftk\u00fchler Audi Q5\/ SQ5 8R 3.0 (Bi-)TDI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Original product name by HG Motorsport (\u00bbz.B.\u00ab = e.g.).
