Audi 8V, 8Y RS3 EVO 3 Performance Intercooler

Maximise the power of your Audi RS3 8V or TTRS 8S with the Proven Performance Parts High-Capacity EVO-3 Performance Intercooler. Designed for serious builds where cooling efficiency separates good performance from great performance, this upgrade is tailored for high boost, hybrid turbo, track use, and tuned European performance vehicles.

Manufactured by a world-class intercooler specialist and engineered with premium components, this V3 unit delivers significant improvements over stock. With expanded core volume, high-density bar-and-plate construction, and precision end-tank design, this intercooler keeps intake air temperatures low, improves turbo efficiency, and mitigates heat soak during intense driving sessions.

Key Features

Massive Core Upgrade

• EV0-V3 core designed for maximum cooling capacity and sustained high-load use.

• High-density bar-and-plate core construction for superior strength and heat dissipation.

Cast Aluminium End Tanks with Integrated Diverters

• Robust cast end tanks engineered to optimise airflow and reduce turbulence.

• Internal diverters ensure even distribution of incoming air across the core.

Large Size & High Volume

• Core dimensions significantly increased compared to OEM for better cooling headroom.

• Higher volume means more “air buffer”, reduced intake temperature spikes, and better recovery between pulls.

Plug-&-Play Installation

• Designed to bolt directly into RS3 8V / TTRS 8S platforms using factory mounting points.

• Compatible with standard charge pipes and OEM plumbing — no major modifications required.

Track-Ready Build Quality

• Engineered for high boost, high heat, and long sessions.

• Ideal for hybrid turbo setups, track events, or performance-focused street builds.

Performance Benefits

• Dramatically lower intake air temperatures (IAT), helping prevent detonation and maintain tuning stability.

• Better resistance to heat soak, especially during repeated hard runs or in hot ambient conditions.

• Improved boost recovery and more consistent power delivery.

• Supports high horsepower builds — provides the cooling headroom needed for demanding setups.

• Adds a high-quality visual upgrade under the bonnet with performance meaning behind it.

Vehicle Fitment

• Audi RS3 8V (2017–2020) — Sportback & Sedan

• Audi TTRS 8S (2018–2022) — compatible with same core platform

• Suitable for tuned 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder engines: EA855 DAZA (RS3 8V) and the TTRS 8S. Does not fit the earlier CZGB engine.

Please Note

Front bumper removal may be required for installation — professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment and airflow sealing.
