LEADING FEATURES
THE ONE AND ONLY FDS™
Cooling your 2.5T engine for the most power possible comes down to efficiency. What is the point of a large intercooler core if you can't effectively take full advantage of the entire space? IE's Flow Distribution System (FDS) places precisely engineered fins inside the end tank to force airflow evenly across the whole surface area to distribute the heat more effectively and recover faster. When drastically reducing air intake temperatures for the most significant power gains possible, IE FDS intercoolers are the proven cheat code.
NO BOOST LEAKS
The RS3 & TTRS 2.5TFSI engine is no stranger to big boost. Designed for any power goal, the inlet and outlet ports are specifically designed and in-house CNC machined to prevent boost hoses from popping off. Our engineers have paid close attention to detail with a flat-stop edge and beveled grooves for a high-friction surface that grips your hoses and locks them in place for good.
RELIABLE STRENGTH
The end tanks are manufactured from high-quality aluminum castings with ultra-thick and reinforced mounting for long life and worry-free operation. All mounting bosses and surfaces are in-house precision CNC machined and hand-verified for an exact fit.
IN-HOUSE TIG WELDED
For maximum quality, finish detail, and outstanding quality, every intercooler is meticulously in-house TIG welded by our intercooler welding specialists. Every unit undergoes a strict post-welding multi-point critical inspection and is tested on our leak-down station before shipping. This level of manufacturing ensures a reliable product ready to install and perform right out of the box.
PERFECT FIT
Your intercooler kit is the maximized size for ultimate performance while retaining a perfect stock-like replacement that requires no installation modifications. Includes all necessary hardware to install and fit vehicles with or without adaptive cruise control (ACC) without purchasing additional brackets.
European and ROW (rest-of-world) models may require a US crash bar for installation.
DEFEAT HEAT SOAK
IE's FDS Intercooler is your ultimate weapon against heat soak. Heat soak occurs when the heat generated by the turbocharger and engine exceeds the cooling capacity of the intercooler. The most common symptom is the noticeable loss of power during WOT acceleration or several back-to-back pulls. By increasing the core size and useable area of the core with FDS technology, we have significantly reduced intake air temperatures consistently lower than OEM and competition intercoolers.
INTAKE AIR TEMP (IAT)
This graph measures intake air temperature (IAT) heat gain from back-to-back testing of consecutive runs. Three wide-open throttle pulls were made while recording the IAT gains at the intercooler. The result was up to 28.6% lower IAT over the stock intercooler on a Stage 1 car!

POWER GRAPH
Real-world power numbers are achieved using our in-house dyno cells to see how the intercooler upgrade affects horsepower and torque. The testing was performed in controlled conditions on a stage 1 car. This testing shows that large power gains are achieved with the intercooler by reducing IATs.

FDS DYNAMICS
This comparison uses advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to detail our FDS fin design's result on flow through the intercooler end tank. Notice the increased charge air distribution entering the top and across the intercooler core. The better this flow is distributed will increase intercooler efficiency and the speed at which it can expel heat from the core.
The above gains are a result of various design details:
- The massive increase in core size dramatically reduces heat soak.
- The internal FDS design forces air to utilize the entire core volume increasing efficiency.
- Lower intake air temps and reduced pressure drop increase horsepower and torque.

WEIRD feature - requires a water bottle
Color: Cow, Size: Large
Cute, but buyer beware. Maybe the description said this, but who would think to read for this.... You have to insert an empty bottle (like an old water bottle) for it to make the crinkle noise. There is a velcro spot at the base where you can open it and insert the water bottle for the noise factor and your dogs entertainment. I've yet to do that, but feel like my dog is gonna figure out the velcro and get the bottle out in no time. Seems like a waste of money. I could just give her an empty water bottle without the toy for free.

Best dog toy!
Color: Multicolor/Alligator & Wild Duck, Size: Medium, Color: Multicolor/Alligator & Wild Duck, Size: Medium
Best dog toy! Most dog toys lady maybe a week or less but this one has been going strong for almost 2 months. Both the squeekers still work on both toys i purchased. My vizsla loves ti squeek and carry it around. We added an empty water bottle in the pocket cavity for some extra fun! Yes, we are still on the same water bottle! Fantastic durability.

Shows wear quickly
Color: Multicolor/Sheep & Cow, Size: Medium
These are cute but not holding up as well as I had hoped. Quality is ok and the Velcro has held up great. The fabric just isn’t as good as it could be. They are much larger than expected.

Super Sturdy with hours of fun.
Color: Wild Duck, Hare, Squirrel & Alligator, Size: Small
I got the small ones that you cannot put a water bottle in.
These toys have held up way better than expected. I am dog sitting a very rough with toys dog named Chunk. He tears up ever. Single. Toy my dog (Ted) has.
I bought new ones just for chunk. These appealed to me with the no stuffing, They were cheaper, and have a squeaker. Everything chunk needed. They arrived on time and I thought I wasted my money. They were super soft, like too soft. They felt flimsy and weak. Like 5 minutes with chunk and they be dead. 2 hours with my dog and they would have a rip. So far 2 of them (I set two out) have lasted the whole weekend. The bunny looks very rough and disgusting, but no rips, the squeakers still work, and no random fluff everywhere. I am going to wash the bunny once chunk leaves.
My very careful doggo Ted loves them too. He throws them up in the air and catches them, plays tug of war with them, and no rips. They are super sturdy. He can’t wait until Chunk leaves (chunk is 2 and Ted is 12-13) so he can play with them.

Loved it
Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large, Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large
He loved it so much, he destroyed it so we ordered another.
I didn't realize that you can stick an empty water bottle inside.
Again, the first one didn't last long, but he enjoyed it
