APR intercooler for 1,4tsi engine

[nacora]

After 2years of development that's what I call progress huh !

Anybody about the price ?

[Sparkly]

I have been looking out for this after I contacted APR a while ago and was told this was coming, this originally started development on VRSy's car and they have clearly finished testing, hope they get prices outin time to take advantage of their winter sale.

Think this is bigger than the Forge, maybe deeper.

Although I'm staggered that they make bhp gains a claim, when I spoke on the phone Keith went to great lengths to tell me how ridiculous it was that Forge claim this as the purpose of the intercooler is to prevent bhp loss. Clear turn around there!

[Confide]

OEM-intercooler is really tiny, so in this case it might give some gains.
However, the Forge-version do look wider.
If you look at the end-tanks, they are ALOT bigger than on the Forge-version.
And they have the same with since it fastens in the same mounts .

I think width (obviously) and height are pretty restricted by the available space.

The APR looks deeper and my understanding was that therir intent was to out do Forge by offering a greater surface area, so this also will incorporate trickery on the internal surfaces.

Nice, exciting stuff! The forge one is £478, so I'd imagine the APR one is more..

Anyone ever heard of/or used one by a company called Wagner? A lot more money though, and not sure how it compares to either the forge or APR for size.

Almost £500 for an intercooler?

Very good apparently. Shark are a reseller and I know they've seen some very good results. Iirc theyve also been used on some decent project cars ie Milltek's.

What you have to consider is the likes of Forge etc just buy a core make it fit to the cars design and pump it out to the market as fast as possible to get the lions share.  This wasa evident in the TTRS when Forge hit the market with their first one, which soon turned out to be insufficient so they released a newer larger one.

 

What you get an APR Intercooler, you know they have taken their time and actually tested it to ensure it actually works as expected.  R&D costs money, but what you get is a quality piece of engineering.

 

Plus, they used 3D CAD Faro Arm technology to ensufre the intercooler made the maximum use of the available space

is it going to be worth the price difference over the forge one?

Have APR published any bhp gains apart from the temperature drop (which is almost 50% lower!) ?
